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.

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.

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...
