The race for the state's 30th congressional district has prompted some big-name endorsements although it is hard to say who has racked up the most impressive A-list supporter.
Rep. Brad Sherman has the distinguished endorsement of former President Bill Clinton, but 90-year-old Actress Betty White did appear in a commercial for Rep. Howard Berman.
Berman says in the general election, his campaign will work to distinguish himself on the difference between his record on Iraq and Afghanistan and the TARP Bailout, which he opposed and Berman supported. But no matter what happens Berman compares winning the primary next Tuesday will be sort of like winning the Ames Straw Poll.
"It's a good show of strength," he says.
"The June 5 outcome will be relatively close," Berman says. Joking he added, "if I do well, I will say it is the most important thing in the world, and if it is close, I will say it is not the most important thing in the world."
