Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, in a candid off-camera moment just before a campaign event for her colleague Barbara Boxer in San Jose on Monday, was greeted by a reporter who asked how things are going. Her answer: "Bad." "In the House?" pressed KTVU political editor Randy Shandobil. Feinstein didn't elaborate, but Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, spoke up to offer a more optimistic view of Democrats' chances on Nov. 2.
