The California Democratic Party will hold its midterm convention at Moscone Center in San Francisco this weekend, and while there's not a whole lot of suspense, it's always an opportunity to see which way the party is leaning in a crucial election year. The message so far: Don't talk about economic inequality-and don't mention the billionaire tax. All the candidates for governor, and all the candidates for the other statewide offices, will be there. Mayor Daniel Lurie will address the crowd. The party issues endorsements in contested primaries, and the San Francisco Congressional race was wired from the start for state Sen. Scott Wiener.

Wiener later told reporters that he wished he'd had time to describe his more nuanced position on Isreael and Gaza: He said he opposes any sale of US offensive weapons to Israel, opposed the invasion of Gaza, finds the Netanyahu Administration terrible, and supports a two-state solution. But the picture of him refusing to take a stand will linger throughout the campaign.
