How Not To Get The Best Possible Democratic Candidate For The White House!

228. In some places in this country, the ONLY way to have "D" candidates is to

Have the approval of the Robber Baron style of Democratic "Leaders."

In California, usually you have to have the blessing of Sen Diane Feinstein to run for office as a Democrat.

And how much of a Democrat is Diane Feinstein? Well, twice she threw the Office of the Governorship over to the Republicans, through deliberately choosing someone whom no one liked. The last time Ahnold won, it really was sad, as had Di Fi chosen Steve Westley, I think he would have made the race a very close call. But she shoved aside the wishes of the voters, claiming that Phil Angelides had done more for the party than Westley had, and so that guy ran, and lost resoundingly.

On edit: So all the many thousands of man hours that were spent getting Mr Westley in the Primary and getting voters to understand how good he would be for the state went down the toilet, as Di Fi insidiously choses people for high palces that voters do not want.
