Voters head to the polls today in New York, New Jersey and Virginia for key elections. Political watchers are viewing several races as indicators of how the country feels about President Obama and his administration's handling of the economy, two wars, and health care during his first 10 months in office.
We're shifting from today's horse races to an election a year from now, the city supervisor's seat in San Francisco. It's shaping up to be a remarkable race, largely due to the leading contender, Theresa Sparks, a transgender woman with a decidedly moderate streak. She's also a former oil baron, CEO, and parent of three.
