Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

Barack Obama may have just racked up the biggest Democratic election victory margin in California since FDR. But that isn't stopping Republican Party A-listers from descending on Sacramento for this month's California Republican Party Spring Convention.

The guest list for Feb. 20-22 conference at the Hyatt Recency includes former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney, current South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton and conservative author/pundit William Bennett.

The convention is also drawing top CA-listers actively plotting gubernatorial bids or mentioned as potential candidates. They include former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Rep. Darrell Issa and 2002 GOP gubernatorial nominee Bill Simon.
