US SENATE | Diane Feinstein

Despite her flip-floppy position on the war in Iraq (she was an early and ardent supporter of the violent and unnecessary fiasco, and now favors the fashionable cut-and-run approach), and despite her general lack of edge or drive (she’s no Nancy Pelosi), we are casting our lot with DiFi, as though it mattered.

She has over the years put together a pretty strong voting record and represented the state rather well. The really good part is that she promises to put the fight against global warming front-and-center when she returns to Washington. That will take courage and capability, and most of the time she exhibits both.
