I'm a Californian, and have asked several people here who they think is in the pipeline to replace my Senator, the one they despise so much. So far I have not gotten an answer.

To Californians I've also explained the seniority system that gives her so much power -- power that enabled her to pursue this very project for all these years, see it to completion, and then by God publish it against the fulminations of the GOPers on her committee and against the urgent requests of the Executive Branch and others in the government.

But next week expect a return to DUers fuming about how she's a corporatist sellout and should do us a favor and drop dead so a Green or a Socialist or a True Dem can take her place.
