She has the say in just about every decision as to whom the Democratic Party in California lets run, especially in the SF Bay Area, and even if it is for dog catcher.

She set things up so that there were two gubernatorial elections thrown to the Republicans between 2000 and 2008.

She has destroyed the ability of any progressive in the Bay Area to seek election on the Dem ticket (Unless they were already a political name before 1988.)

She also had the Code of Ethics used in the Senate totally re-written, so that her husband Richard Blum could maneuver their business holdings such that he had 27 million dollars worth of contracts awarded to him within months of the Senate passing the Iraq War Resolution. (This would have been a crime of conflict of interest - at the very least, before the Code of Ethics was overhauled, Di Fi would have had to excuse herself from voting on the IWR.)
