    It hardly matters, Newsom is a democrat, Feinstein was a democrat, Padilla is a Democrat, California has about as much chance of electing a non-Democrat to her Senate seat as it does of seceding from the union. I have mixed feelings about Newsom but whoever he picks is gonna be pretty similar to whoever was gonna win anyway.

      The real question is whether he picks someone that was already running for the seat. Very competitive race between Schiff, Porter, and Lee. If he selected one of those, would give them a huge leg up.

          Not a CA voter, but that’s where I’m at. Schiff is fine, but let our whiteboard queen cuck some more assholes with nothing more than a dry-erase marker.

            Even if Shiff is ideologically sound, he’s such a dull, dry, wimpy-assed milquetoast snooze pill that he’d get his ass handed to him AGAIN in the Senate

        He said a long time ago he’d choose a black woman to take over for Feinstein. Apparently because he didn’t do that when choosing a replacement for Kamala.
