That highly watched California Governor race, or at least they consider it to be, between Senator Knowland and Governor Knight! Right out of the gate, the governor accuses Knowland of using this seat for higher political aspirations! Well, DUH. The fact that Ive never heard of any of these guys just goes to show how important this election really was.
