Standouts on the new team include U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) and Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles.) Also selected was Christine Pelosi, daughter of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco). The younger Pelosi is a San Francisco-based party strategist, attorney and author.

U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, a superdelegate, is jumping from the campaign of Hillary Clinton to the Barack Obama camp, continuing the train of state superdelegates lining up behind the Illinois senator.

“Senator Hillary Clinton has run a superb campaign and has proven to be a hard worker while gaining the support of many key constituencies that will be essential for Democratic success in November," Waters said today. “Despite that, Senator Obama’s delegate numbers more than describe the enthusiasm for his candidacy and I believe that by the end of the day, he will have the necessary numbers to become the Democratic Party nominee for President."

Waters is a nine term congresswoman from Los Angeles. She sits on the House Financial Services Committee.

Los Angeles City Hall is buzzing with word that lobbyists throughout the City have received calls from Assemblyman and former 5th District Councilman Mike Feuer that he is seriously considering another run for City Attorney.

For those with short memories, Feuer lost the City Attorney’s race to unknown Rocky Delgadillo. Some blame the loss on Feuer’s arrogance (you can always tell a Harvard man – you just can’t tell him anything) while others blame the failure of his consultant to strike a deal with powerful Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ to appear on her slate card.  Whatever the reason, Rocky won and became the worst City attorney since…(Wally’s memory isn’t what it used to be and can’t remember a worse CA).
