The Argus, CA - Oct 16, 2007
By Aaron Kinney, STAFF WRITER SAN MATEO — SAN MATEO — San Mateo County Democrats will gather in San Mateo this weekend for a presidential straw poll and fundraiser, as the local Democratic Party prepares for California's new presidential primary date in February.
The star attraction of Sunday's event, which is expected to raise more than $25,000, will be U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, the only presidential candidate who has agreed to appear in person. Representatives for four other candidates, including frontrunner Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., are scheduled to speak on their behalf. . . .
