"Warren wasn't at the candidate's breakfast (last Saturday) so he really didn't get a chance to talk about himself," says San Mateo County Harbor District Commissioner Robert Bernardo, a key member of the democratic group. "He was sick that morning, he told us he was out ill, and wasn't able to make it. I don't know if I'm surprised (by the endorsement of Keith); he just wasn't able to make it."
