Gov. Brown visited Colorado recently to support a Clinton; however, 20 years ago, he visited the same place to antagonize a Clinton.
DAVID SIDERS with Politico: "Jerry Brown once captivated disaffected Democrats here, antagonizing Bill Clinton as he coursed through Colorado in his final presidential campaign in 1992."
"Painting Clinton as a steward of corporate interests and refusing to accept donations of more than $100, Brown rallied college students and environmentalists to an upset victory in Colorado’s Democratic nominating contest."
"The achievement was short-lived, as was Brown’s populism. Leaving Colorado on Sunday after a day of campaigning for Hillary Clinton, the fourth-term Democrat’s distaste for money in politics — and for the Clintons — had long since faded away."
Meanwhile, California's U.S. Senate candidates scramble for last minute support.
PHIL WILLON with LAT: "U.S. Senate candidates Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez spent their final Sunday before election day in their political comfort zones, issuing their final pleas for support and urging Southern Californians to vote."
"Harris, the two-term state attorney general, spent the morning dropping by some of central Los Angeles’ most popular black churches, where the pews were full and the greetings were celebratory and warm."
“It is so important [to vote]. There is so much at stake,” Harris told parishioners at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church of Los Angeles. “This is truly a pivotal moment in our history.”

And in the Congressional races, Ami Bera and Scott Jones scour Sacramento streets for voters as Tuesday nears.
CHRISTOPHER CADELAGO with The Bee: "Republican congressional candidate Scott Jones had paused between canvassing homes over the weekend to reflect on his campaign against Rep. Ami Bera, an Elk Grove Democrat, when the conversation meandered to history."
"Twenty years, at least, right?” Jones asked, trying to recall the last time a Republican ousted a sitting House Democrat in California."
"It’s been 22 years. But who’s counting, particularly this year?"

The GOP in California faces a mass exodus from one of it's most ardent voter blocs: Vietnamese Americans.
MATT LEVIN in Daily News: "In Florida, it’s Cuban Americans. Within one generation, the children of a loyally conservative immigrant group don’t feel the same attachment to the Republican Party that their parents did."
"In California, it’s Vietnamese Americans. And the flight from the GOP among younger Vietnamese voters appears to be happening at very rapid pace."
"It’s bad news for a party who has relied on Vietnamese-American voters as a predictably conservative voting bloc since the 1970s, when refugees fleeing Vietnam’s communist regime began populating cities such as San Jose and Garden Grove in large numbers. What once was one of the few key minority groups the California GOP could bank on at the polls increasingly trending Democrat and independent. Today young Vietnamese voters are now more likely to register Democrat than your average young Californian."

And if you still weren't caught up to date on Prop. 64 -- cannabis legalization -- here are the 10 most important things you need to be aware of.
PATRICK MCGREEVY with LAT: "At 62 pages long, Proposition 64 is a detailed and complicated document that spells out how California will regulate and tax the growth, transportation and sale of marijuana for recreational use."
"Although Californians will be able to possess and grow marijuana immediately if it passes, people will not have a place to legally buy nonmedical marijuana until stores are licensed — and the state has until Jan. 1, 2018, to begin issuing retail licenses. State officials estimate it will take up to a year to develop the regulations that will be applied to those who grow, transport, test and sell cannabis."
"Here’s what we do know so far about what legalizing pot would look like in California based upon what is outlined in the ballot measure."

A new reservoir expansion could bring relief to millions in the Bay.
DENIS CUFF with Mercury News: "Millions of Bay Area residents could get extra drought insurance against water shortages and quality problems from a proposed $800 million expansion of the Los Vaqueros Reservoir that may have up to 10 water suppliers as partners."
"Ten water agencies serving San Jose, Fremont, Oakland, Concord, Richmond, Antioch, San Francisco and other communities have negotiated preliminary deals to contribute a combined $1 million for feasibility studies on expanding the reservoir south of Brentwood."
"Boards of some of those agencies recently agreed to share the costs. Others are considering approval soon, including the Santa Clara Valley Water District board on Tuesday and the East Bay Municipal Utility District board on Nov. 22."
LAT has released their electoral map for Tuesday and they've got Clinton winning with electoral 352 votes. What do your picks look like?
DAVID LAUTER and MARK Z. BARABAK with LAT: "We've updated our electoral map for the final time in this topsy-turvy campaign year. "
"For this version, our goal was no toss-ups. We're giving you our best estimates, based on public polling, state vote histories and the reporting done by our campaign staff, on which way we think each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia will fall this year."
"The previous version of the map had five toss-up states. In the end, we're predicting that three of them -- North Carolina, Ohio and Arizona -- will go for Hillary Clinton."
