The damn-near-nonexistant Republican Party in California has ceded BOTH Senate seats a long time ago.

All congressional politics are local and explains why Congresscreatures don't seem to act in accordance with "national will". Feinstein knows who her voters are and what they want. Heaven help us if she becomes a member of the majority.

Feinstein is a bulletproof Douche bag politically. She will either Die in office or retire.

The off-the-charts terrible Prop 82 is leading 52% to 39%, but since this is a Field poll it very well may actually be a tie.

Those people must not have (a) common sense or (b) someone better to pick from. (c) all of the above.

Can somebody explain to me why a candidate named "Mountjoy" is not running away with the race in the Bay Area?

Can't disagree with you there.

That's the way most senate seats are. It's either because they all do such a good job or the system is corrupt

The preschool education thing will probably win - it's Rob Reiner's "last hurrah" -- I suppose I should be grateful that at least this time he's not asking for smokers to fund it - now he's going after the people with high incomes.

As for Feinstein - the blue counties will vote her in while geographically, the greater area of red counties will once more find themselves completely unrepresented in the Senate.

Why would anyone spend 25 million dollars for a position that pays less than one million dollars over a six year period ?

Out of California's huge population, the best representation we can come up with is two political puppets like Feinstein and Boxer.

California is owned by the democratic party who is owned by the public employees unions, and we are their sheeple.

If Richard Riordan hadn't made her back out of the governor race to clear the way for Schwarzenegger, she may have entered. That may be the only way to get her out.

Actually, I'm surprised that it's this close.

It's getting harder and harder to unseat an incumbent period, even in non-lefty-loony states and districts. Look at McKinney: ousted in 2002, back in in 2004. But senators especially. Unless they do something (a) illegal or (b)totally off the wall. Boxer and Feinstein will be like Ted K and Byrd. Look at Murray and Cantwell in WA. Even Murray's hare-brained statements about Osama's day care centers doesn't effect the voters.

One reason why the Maryland Senate race is so interesting this year. Sarbanes is stepping down and Steele (R) has a real chance to win. Now if only Mikulski would follow suit.....
