(68,644 posts)1. More than some men? Hell, more than most men in the party.
And a significant share of the women.
Why Feinstein, for example, is even in Congress is beyond me.

(15,220 posts)2. I've loved Barbara since the Bush/Gore fiasco.
She stood up! Before that, I wasn't much aware of her, but I've watched her since and she has never failed to make me proud of her. She's a true Democrat!

(285 posts)4. What about Debbie Wasserman Shultz?
I live in Cali and I too, admire Barbra Boxer along with Barbara Lee, and Nancy Pelosi. The 3 have been great advocates for us Californians and abroad. By comparison, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, representing the state of Florida, is a powerful voice in the Dem Party. What's more, I would bet that she has been a great advocate for Floridians,too.
