Senator Dianne Feinstein's Re-Election Enthusiasm Down

Sacramento Bee:

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein's public approval rating remains positive, but enthusiasm for re-electing her is far less than in previous years, according to a Field Poll released today.

As Feinstein prepares to run for re-election next year, California voters are inclined to support her, 43 percent to 39 percent, according to the poll.

Well, I would say that Boxer was more vulnerable than her and considering how much money Fiorina blew only to come up short I can see why nobody might have the stomach to take her on.

Meanwhile William Bradley, as big a Feinstein shill as there is for HuffPo (and that's saying something) has his latest article about the Brown veto right near this one.

Maybe she should follow in Queen Nancy's footsteps and fill that mug full of botox.

Nancy Pelosi is the only one in DC with courage...if she can do the things all others in the Dem party seem to be afraid of doing or saying, I say who cares if she used botox!

I dont care if Nancy uses botox. I DO care that an inordinate number of companies in her home district have received health care law exemptions.

All hail the John The Baptist on this issue: ME!

I was into attacking Sen. Feinstein from a progressive standpoint LONNNNNNNNNNNNG before that sort of thing was cool (back when 99% of votes against DiFi were from the "she's a baby killer who wants to take away our guns" rightwing kook crowd)

I have one question for her: Do you think you are indispensable to the Republic?

If not, please retire.

Diane acknowledged a problem we had with the Federal government but refused to help even though we were seriously victimized. The other side is she supports programs for the poor and has a good heart. I will support her as long as she runs.

But does she want to withdraw from Afghanistan and cut the defense budget to support these programs? So far I have seen NO indication she wants to.

her actions speak louder. this senator has become too much of a tool for the special interests in the Pentagon, Wall St and her husband's pals...Time for her to go...She has not represented California well for over 8 years....We need someone who will say no to public service unions and NO to the war profiteers, no to the extremists, and begin a new look at NAFTA...and that precludes Feinstein.

Not progressive enough. Time to get someone younger. Thanks for your service Dianne.

Feinstein has been a good senator and assisted my wife and me when we needed help to motivate some bureaucrats to do their job. If she runs, I'll vote for her, but I have to admit I'd like to see someone younger, more activist, and more willing to use modern communications technology. A graceful retirement might be a good thing.

Grace is something our new order of politicians seems to lack...She was a good senator once...now...not so much.
