If ever we needed to get money out of politics, this was a wonderful chance because the Democrats had a wonderful candidate running against that Teapublican't.
For instance, despite Meg Whitman outspending Brown by tens of millions (over $125 million, by the way) he won by a large margin. I couldn't turn on the local television here without being swamped by Meg Whitman ads against Brown, but we didn't listen.
Now, I'm going to vote for Mike Strimling in the primaries against DiFi. She's been there too long, got too rich off of military budgets, and she's, at best, a Blue Dog - unless it's around re-election time. She needs to go. I hope more Californians will support Mike who is a true Democrat and Progressive. We certainly will.
