The crazy aunt in the basement, er, California governor's race:

Ms. Huffington's first step in her "guerrilla campaign," as she called it, was a misstep, as she upset the microphone stand of the assembled news media, while trying work her way into a photo opportunity of Mr. Schwarzenegger, and his wife, Maria Shriver ..

"Who is that lady?" someone in the crowd of onlookers asked.
