Nevertheless, as you pointed out at Taylor's site, she carried more than sixty percent of the vote,. In California that means that quite a few Democrats must have voted for her, as well.<BR/><BR/>She also hasn't been challenged in either of her re-election primaries, and I don't remember even a whisper of a possible candidate in either one.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-49278812895791576492007-10-26T12:10:00.000-07:002007-10-26T12:10:00.000-07:00Is it as simple as enough moderate Republican vote...Is it as simple as enough moderate Republican voters like her that it doesn't matter if some Dems don't?<BR/><BR/>I figure repub voters want representation, too, and are more than happy with Dianne.

All those folks who are having "buyers remorse" over Lieberman right now have no one but themselves to blame. He'd been lying to them for years, and the press caught him at it, but there was a substantial portion who just didn't know better until they watched what he did after they returned him to DC.<BR/><BR/>There are days, shoephone, when I still think Feinstein has the ability to be a leader. Unfortunately, she seems to have lost her conscience somewhere along the way. Leaders like that aren't the kind I want running my government, so I suppose it's a good thing she's not running for President.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-84495131519426259052007-09-23T23:10:00.000-07:002007-09-23T23:10:00.000-07:00I often think back to 1978, when I was living in C...I often think back to 1978, when I was living in California, and how I watched her take control during the crisis days following Moscone's and Milk's murders. She was such a leader then. I really believed she had the people's best interests at heart. High hopes.<BR/><BR/>Those days are long over. As Eli said, she'd would switch colors in a nanosecond, if she thought it would benefit her to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-51767782044687279542007-09-23T21:33:00.000-07:002007-09-23T21:33:00.000-07:00Like Lieberman (was), DiFi is a Democrat Of Conven...Like Lieberman (was), DiFi is a Democrat Of Convenience, because she knows a D after her name will get her elected. If CA went red, she would become a Republican immediately... and breathe a sigh of relief.<BR/><BR/>It still boggles my mind that no-one seems to notice that she's not actually a D at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
