The whole state is a bunch of nuts!

Are you kidding. If it was what you suggested the old MSM would be all over it like flies on.....well, you know.

Tiger Woods would be so yesteday's news.

Even those fiesty gals on "The View" would have a serious nag-fest. Especially if you could toss Darth Cheney into the story

Katie Couric, she'd have her "I'm both a woman and a serious journalist" game face on. Furrowed brow, the works.

Even Chris Matthews would take his 'nads out of the baby food jar and have a serious "third leg tingle" if Big Oil, Haliburton and the Rethugs had altered the data.

Matthews would have his typical show, guest supporting his position who are allowed to speak after he asks his "compound" question, and guest who disagree with him who would be interrupted after getting out a single utterance.

Boxer would be given full time on his show.

that is so true about Matthews. I did a paper on political TV personalities & after a while got to dislike Matthews. He won't shut up and gives a 5 minute speech before he finishes the question!

But Boxer is good to California & will easily be re-elected. Nobody is upset with her & Feinstein. Senators seem to stay put in office for better or worse.

Perhaps someone should make public and refresh the publics memories on the records of these two. Then, if they are still desired fine, but I suspect it would be considerably harder for them to be re-elected.

Just my opinion.

Do you believe in miracles? Because that is what it will take for California to vote Republican.

Exactly! Thank you! You want an example of what NOT to do, look at California (too many examples to list). You made an excellent point, and I don't even think you meant to. So again...thank you!

Depends on your perspective, right? California has led the nation for the past several decades, good or bad. California thinking & law is progressive and not afraid of the future. Some are frightened by change. Others man-up and take responsibility.
