    You posted invalid HTML. Block-level elements such as <div> do not go inside of <p> tags, and especially not inside of inline elements such as a <span>.

    Anyway, the CSS selector to match anything is *

    p, p * {
    font: 15px 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif;
    padding-right: 150px;
}

    Be careful using the * selector. It is “slow” when there are a lot of elements to match.
