Ariana Huffington is the wife of unsuccessful senate candidate (lost to Sen
Feinstein) and former Congressman Michael Huffington, himself a former
Texan and current multi-millionaire (oil bidness).  She is a writer and
Republican activist - and was featured on "Politically Incorrect" in some
hilarious skits with Al Franken during the last election.  She is quite
influential in many Republican circles, but not popular with the Christian
Coalition.  I think her support of the California bill will be very
helpful, and her column was great.
