Of course none of this implies absolutely that Winograd will win the fight on the floor. But she will get the welcome opportunity to let her voice and views be heard. Progressive delegates will want to hear her. Conservative delegates may not. But in a system that favors incumbents, challengers deserve every chance to level the field.
Regardless of what happens today - whether Winograd gets the Party's endorsement or not, she'll still be running against Harman in the primary on June 8th. The same is true of Harman. If Winograd gets the endorsement, Harman in all likelihood plans to run against her. In the end, it's the people's opinion that matters most. It's the constituents of California's 36th Congressional District who ultimately decide this battle between blue-dog and progressive. Still, today's "fight" is likely to be pretty raucous.
Stay tuned...
