It's been a rough few months for San Francisco Sen. Carole Migden, with the latest blow coming at last weekend's convention in San Jose, when California Democratic Party delegates refused to endorse her campaign.
By all accounts, it was a heated weekend, as campaign fliers circulated and both Migden and challenger Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, campaigned heavily for the party's backing.
Donna Mills, a Los Angeles blogger, described the intense politicking on her blog. "There were times when it looked as if we would be seeing a West Side Story type rumble (without the dancing)," she wrote.
But perhaps one of the more blogged about moments -- documented on the video below -- was Migden's speech to the Women's Caucus in which she urged attendees, "Let us women stand for women."
In the back of the room, a group of Leno supporters heckled her, chanting at one point "honor the law," a reference to the recent fines levied against her by the Fair Political Practices Commission.
To which Migden shot back," Are those women? They look like heavy guys to me."
Ultimately, party delegates voted against her endorsement, with 298 in favor and 742 opposed.
Watch the whole Women's Caucus exchange below, starting roughly 3 minutes and 35 seconds into the video to get the full context.
