SoCal needs to field a conservative candidate. We need some representation in the senate from the southern half of the state.
No question the Bay Area is overrepresented: Brown, Harris, Feinstein, Newsom and Lockyer. Boxer might officially reside in Rancho Mirage but she has more in common with Berkeley.
