These dinosaur Dems dont know when to give up eh?
Why must they??? Name a reasons (from their point of view, not yours)
Spending time w/ grandchildren and other family is the only real thing I could think of. People like Boxer, who actually cared about their constituents, got tired of the gridlock and retired.
but people like Feinstein who just care about staying in power don't care about gridlock or partisanship
Absolutely. She is different from Boxer. And, probably, there are people in her family to look for grandchildren. So what?? There are people, who are justly called "political animals". Feinstein is, probably, one of them (just as Thurmond and Robert Byrd were). Usually such persons are lifers, and serve almost until death. I think we may have the same case here....
Agreed, I think Feinstein is a lifer. Personally, I don't like Feinstein, but I don't care if she stays in office. Not like Republicans are going to win there.
Though, i'd prefer a Cali Dem like Brad Sherman to be Senator. He's fairly hawkish and has a reputation of working in a bipartisan manner.
