See the video HERE. FEINSTEIN FINALLY DEBATES EMKEN! Emken Uses Hollywood Technology To 'Create' Debate (ORANGE COUNTY, CA) After weeks of watching Dianne Feinstein refuse to give California voters an opportunity to compare their U.S. Senate candidates in public debate, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Emken has turned to Hollywood for a solution.

Like teenagers on vacation with their parents, Republicans from blue states and Democrats from red states don't want to be seen with party elders. "I don't spend a lot of time thinking about Mitt Romney," Elizabeth Emken, the Republican who will face off against Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein in November, recently told me. "That's the truth.

Two of the four remaining Republican candidates hoping to unseat Rep. Jerry McNerney from Congress claimed that they are the one candidate who can return the 11th District into the Republican column. "I can hardly wait until I'm in Congress and introduce myself to Nancy Pelosi," candidate Elizabeth Emken told the Lodi Republican Women on Wednesday. "I'm ready to take on Nancy Pelosi, let me tell you." Emken, a Danville resident, said she'll even send photos of her first meeting with the House speaker. "You have to look at the four candidates," candidate Tony Amador, of Lodi, said. "Look at...
