7. It is too bad it has not been the other way around a couple of years ago

Feinstein is the one we need to get rid of, not Boxer. If Boxer wants to retire though, I respect that. She's been there a long time and maybe she wants to do something different.

I can only hope that Feinstein decides to retire in 2018. The flip side though of them both retiring so close together is that California will end up with both Senators at the bottom of seniority list.

Are people suggesting that she would be replaced by a repug? senseandsensibility Sep 2014 #1

CA is too blue. RandySF Sep 2014 #15

CA was not too blue to pass Prop H8, not too blue to recall Davis and elect Arnold. Twice. Bluenorthwest Sep 2014 #19

Agreed. I've noticed other states passing initives far more liberal than California. C Moon Sep 2014 #25

I think CA is bluer since those days Liberal_in_LA Sep 2014 #45

I believe the Davis recall and Aaanold election were based on fraud. Beginning with the petitions... DesertDiamond Sep 2014 #50

Kashkari could win in 2016. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #58

what does this even mean ? people like Boxer are not the same as some others like Schumer JI7 Sep 2014 #11

Nothing to do with age. But 30 years in politics is a career bigwillq Sep 2014 #34

"New and fresh" does not equal "better" /nt demwing Sep 2014 #37

That's not rational - she's one of the best. bananas Sep 2014 #12

She's the best of the best of the best, not 'same old'. byronius Sep 2014 #22

Not ageism at all. bigwillq Sep 2014 #33

Politics should never be a "career". former9thward Sep 2014 #42

OK, I'll bite demwing Sep 2014 #44

Oh, I think we would survive. former9thward Sep 2014 #46

The question was not whether the US would survive demwing Sep 2014 #47

Good post. bigwillq Sep 2014 #56

More like "Cool, post bro" /nt demwing Sep 2014 #59

Pretty much just politics bigwillq Sep 2014 #55

That's nuts. She's one of our best. Do you even know anything about her? HERVEPA Sep 2014 #53

Yes. I think she's been great. bigwillq Sep 2014 #54

Or not. Consider Diane Feinstein. It's always a crapshoot. HERVEPA Sep 2014 #57

No, I want to keep Boxer. Live and Learn Sep 2014 #5

Not soon enough davidpdx Sep 2014 #17

the seat if hers if she wants to run, but i can understand her not wanting to run, especially at JI7 Sep 2014 #9

Sounds good to me! MoonchildCA Sep 2014 #21

I hope that Boxer grooms Kamala for the seat flamingdem Sep 2014 #24

I hope not. Xithras Sep 2014 #43

Newsom rebounded pretty well from his sex scandal madville Sep 2014 #26

The guy is such an adieu Sep 2014 #28

Why can't DiFi follow her lead? KamaAina Sep 2014 #23

There's a good chance that we're currently enduring DiFi's final term. Xithras Sep 2014 #41

Rather she runs and get rid of adieu Sep 2014 #27

Boxer was iffy about running xxqqqzme Sep 2014 #31
