Comment: Non-notable. She has not even won the nomination of her party yet, she is merely one of the candidates in the primary. The only  source given is a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune which mentions, in passing, that she was one of the speakers at an event. There is also a mention of her http://www.contracostatimes.com/california/ci_14896381?nclick_check=1 here. Other than that, nothing.  So the answer to whether she has done anything newsworthy is "no

Comment: Fails  as a candidate who has never held elective office. Despite being a candidate for governor of the most populous US state, references seem scarce. Most of the independent sources presented in the article are either not exactly reliable (IMDB for example) or only mention her in passing. She has a profile with the SPLC, but that's not a newspiece. I don't know much about the Independent Political Report, which did http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2010/04/g-edward-griffin-endorses-nightingale-for-governor/ a short story on her being endorsed by G. Edward Griffin, but the fact that their email address is @gmail.com leads me to suspect they're not a very major news organization. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Chelene+Nightingale+-wikipedia&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Google and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Chelene%20Nightingale&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=nws:1&sa=N&tab=wn GNews searches turn up articles only mentioning her in passing, her campaign website, candidate profiles, social networking sites, blogs, etc. but no in-depth coverage in reliable sources needed to pass

Comment: Yup, the article definitely sounds like a POV politicial ad promoting a candidate. Has she done newsworthy before deciding to run for office? If so, perhaps the article tone could be addressed. If not, and failing olitician, the current scant coverage http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Chelene%20Nightingale%22&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbs=nws:1&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wn all seems to be . If she actually wins, then the article can be returned and expanded
