Hope we can get a conservative Senator. Now we need to work on getting rid of Feinstein.

I don’t agree with you.

It’s just the current population that votes .. will choose democrats .. but the YOUTH - COLLEGE AGE - are being hurt very badly; they are ripe for the picking.

All it takes is a person with the right message (and a group of people who will support the person) .. and the conservatives certainly have a better msg. And .. San Diego finally got off the dems bandwagon .. and while the current Mayor is not a “perfect” choice .. I believe it’s a start.

You’re not getting a conservative elected in California at any point in time in the next 50 years or more.

Good Riddance! God perhaps another liberal bubble head will replace her.

They're looking for a replacement right now...possibly someone just like Sheila Jackson Lee or Maxine Waters or Elizabeth Warren or Nancy Pelosi. This is not a good thing with any amount of certainty.

The sad part is that the California GOP is so weak, and the California voters are so besotted with Leftism and Socialism,

...

Conservatives slightly outnumber liberals in California, but has a GOP that’s happy to live with the spoils of a big, corrupt, Democrat controlled state government.

EXCELLENT CHOICE ..!!!!

Has anybody contacted him regarding his running for that position ..??

HE IS A GREAT PERSON .. I used to be in his district; but even when the dems gerrymandered him out of my district, he still continued to contact me about what was going on .. I so appreciated that. But, after I lost him, I’ve never had anyone .. anywhere in the country .. representing me or my views.

I presume her husband has gotten rich enough...

Boxer’s husband, Stewart, a prominent attorney in Oakland, represents injured workers in worker’s compensation cases, keeping a very low political profile. In 2006, the Boxers sold their house in Greenbrae, where they had lived for many years, and moved to Rancho Mirage. Their son, Douglas, a lawyer, practices with Stewart and is a former member of the Oakland Planning Commission, having been appointed to that office by then-mayor Jerry Brown (Wikipedia)

I don’t know how many female Senators are sent to DC by their (already) rich husbands to grow the family fortune, but it certainly is a trend to watch.

Well .. we have a champion by the name of Duncan Hunter; who is very well regarded in this state.

If he is willing to run for this seat, it will put a great conservative, former military guy, right in the perfect place for 2016.

You know why people retire? They’re getting old. When people get old enough, they die. So this is awesome news.

The only reason I am able to crawl out of bed each morning is the thought that today just might be the day that the world no longer contains Nancy Pelosi.

CA is due for a Latino senator—maybe one with a forged birth certificate—they could then be White House material!
