She's one of them. She became Mayor of San Francisco when Moscone was killed and she's never looked back since. She doesn't even bother to campaign other than to put a couple of token ads up. She's the darling of all those Corporations headquartered in San Francisco. No one in the Bay Area runs against her.
I've actually asked Barbara Lee to run against her for the Senate, and the response she seemed to give me was she would never be able to raise enough money to run against her and she would never be able to do her job because she would have to spend all her time raising money.
I would love to have Barbara Lee as my Senator. I'm delighted to have her as my Congresswoman!
