Looks like Feinswine has flip-flopped . . .I think it is called survival. She will need black voters in California to keep her job once the Hispanic lobby is emboldened enough to run one of their own. I've always thought she was brighter than Boxer. But, then, so is a box of rocks.

If she runs I hope her opponent will rerun her ‘apology’ to the Chinese for our surveillance plane running into their little jet. That was an appalling situation. She apologized for our nation so as not to aggravate the chinese with whom her husband had many business dealings.
