#1 Off to the dueling grounds at Weehawken for the both of them. A case of matching M67 Grenades for each please.

#2 This will be a moonbat's paradise! Just imagine the primary with hollywierd picking sides on which moonbat to follow. Those with foil lined hats, for protection of course, will be with Feinstein and all those way over the edge will be lined up to follow the 21st century Jane Fonda.

#6 IF DiFi can win without veering too far left, she can use this to reestablish her moderate credentials. And I think DiFi can demolish Sheehan. Politics, even in Calif, is about more than Iraq. WTF does Sheehan know about highways, air quality, prescription drugs, the semiconductor industry, movie piracy, agriculture, etc. Nah, Id place all my bets on DiFi on this one. All Sheehan does is show herself to be a pol, rather than a saint. Sure she'll win berzerkley, and SF (a big embarrasment to DiFi) and Marin, but Southern Calif Dems, Silicon Valley Dems, etc will I suspect vote DiFi.

Go DiFi!!!

#7 Does this mean DiFi is the Conservative candidate? Who'd a thunk it.

#8 For the good of the country, I hope 'Hawk is right, but I suspect that the moonbats have more power over a Dem primary than anyone gives them credit for.

Here's a possible scenario: A bunch of far-left money and manpower goes to Mother Sheehan in the primary, so she can run a campaign all out of proportion to her actual support. If Di-Fi squeezes out a win in the primary, she finds to her dismay that none of the usual sources are willing to pony up for the general election.

#10 Go DiFi!!!

LH, that "woman" made people like my wife and I (gun owners) all but illegal in California. If there is a difference between her and a 1930's fascist I have no idea what it might be. The only place that old bitch should go is into a grave.

#11 In the 1970 primaries the doves took on prowar Dem congressmen, and won a bunch. The primary winners generally didnt do as well in the general elections as the incumbents had, but still won a bunch of seats.

But this isnt 1970. No draft. A very different situation on the ground in Iraq. I just dont see the political situation as being as favorable to the dovish left. OTOH Im not in California.

I wonder how much DiFi is dependent on Hollywood $ as opposed to Silicon Valley $. And is Hollywood a monolith? Who carries more wait, a Streisand, or the studio biz types, who are more worried about issues like IP law than about Iraq? And even the Streisands, are they gonna spend big bucks on Sheehan?

#13 Silly Valley has more money than Hollywierd.

Hell, the Porno industry has more money than Hollywierd, which pisses off the Studio Moguls no end.

#16 Never mind. I just recalled that pr 0n is customer oriented and unlikely to fund a wacko.

Wack Yes! Wackos No!

#19 ..discuss her idea of running against Feinstein with her son and two daughters. "I can't see if they think it's going to help peace that they would be opposed to me doing it" She couldn't see why Casey would volunteer for a 2nd tour to Iraq either....the woman is blind/dumb/blond, and a perfect replacement for DiFi against the winning Repub nominee.

#20 But this isnt 1970. No draft. A very different situation on the ground in Iraq. I just dont see the political situation as being as favorable to the dovish left.

More favorable than one would think. Sheehan might not win the primary, but she would certainly damage both Feinstein and the CA Democrat Party.

OTOH Im not in California.

Count your blessings, lh.

#21 All you need to win in Cal is get the Bay Area and "Southern California." If you don't Live in Texas or Alaska you can't understand how little of the land mass of the state that represents. The rest of the State disagrees wiht Babs and DiFi but their is not a damn thing we can do but try and out breed them.

#22 SPOD - the Roe effect will help. Go vote for Cindy to run....we need the laffs and Di-Fi will just sh*t at having to deal with her

#23 I voted yea. I think it's important that the Democratic Party be forced to deal with its crazies, rather than just milking them for money and votes.
