outstanding Democrats is not going to be an easy job.

I don't think I've ever felt as conflicted in a lifetime of voting.

and would feel same way, I love both him and Katie.

I have a lot of family that still lives there though and they come to me for political advice since they pay less attention. Not sure what to say on this.

The donar dollars are getting ridiculous. I love both of them. Would giving to neither be a wise move?

…Congressional representatives, because to run for Senate you must give up Congress. If Swallwell makes a bid, we will be three down.

So cross your fingers that their districts have some more great Dems lined up.

God I hope Swallwell doesn't run. I think she would go back to teaching. Not sure about Schiff.

Adam and Eve. 😏 Kinda' corny, but an attention grabber.
I don't live in California so I won't be able to vote for Mr. Schiff, but I can donate to his campaign. He's a great Democrat. 👍

Every man or woman for themselves? Seems rude. Does whoever doesn't win lose their job? I don't get it.

McCarthy may help Adam Schiff get the Democratic nomination by being an asshole




https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/25/adam-schiff-kevin-mccarthy-house-intelligence-backfire/

We suspect the real reason Republicans are going after Mr. Schiff is that he has been so effective. Then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had such confidence in Mr. Schiff that she made him — not the chairman of the Judiciary Committee — the point person on the first of Mr. Trump’s impeachments. He also performed valuable service as a member of the select committee that investigated the insurrection.

If Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) retires as many expect in 2024, Mr. Schiff appears likely to run for Senate. It is possible that Mr. McCarthy’s pettiness could redound to the political benefit of his fellow Californian. He might have laid the groundwork for Mr. Schiff to succeed Ms. Feinstein not only as a senator but also in a leading role on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
