Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

It may be a while (if ever) before Assembly Speaker Karen Bass graces the covers of national news magazines, as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has, but the Los Angeles Democrat gets a bit of ink in next month's American Prospect.

A liberal national magazine, American Prospect names Bass as one of seven Democratic "women to watch" in a post-Hillary Clinton era. (The pink cover features a silhouette and the headline "Beyond Hillary.")

One other Californian makes the list: Hilda Solis, a Southern California congresswoman.

AmericanProspect.jpg"They are women who will no doubt have a role in shaping the party in the coming decade: potential attorneys general, speakers of the House, governors, senators, and yes, presidents," reports the magazine.

The other five are Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Maryland congressional candidate Donna Edwards, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
