Poll question: Poll: Who should we run in the primary against DINO Diane?
These are names that have been suggested. If you have a nomination not represented here (please, not Barney or Jacko), post it. Let's see what people are thinking.

Thanks!

6. I don't think he'll do it -- without her blessing.

Who knows Gavin better than I do? I know she tried to tank him by blaming him for the election. So, there's probably not a lot of love lost. On the other hand, she is the party establishment.

I think we'd have better luck with the CBC?

8. I do too. And am thinking more and more that the CBC may
be our smart bomb against DD's machine.

18. I live in Oakland
I'm too close to Jerry Brown. He lives down the street.

I don't trust him!

I'd prefer Warren Beatty. Gavin Newsome might be a better bet for Governor against the gropenfuhrer or after Angiledes.

19. what don't you like about Brown?
Edited on Sat Jul-30-05 01:31 PM by yurbud
I think he could kick DiFi's ass, and definitely out-talk any republican they put up.

They will will wait here out, hoping that she will retire.

11. Juan Vargas is the complete package.
Young, Harvard educated, rags to riches bio(Son of a chicken farmer), Good looking, Former seminary student, hard worker.
Juan has appeal to dems/progressives as well as the Latino and religous voters.

12. DiFi's retirement is now a mission.
There needs to be someone who wants to replace her who is proud to be a progressive representative of the people and not beholden to corporate shyters like Dianne.

15. Kuehl: I volunteered for her first campaign in 94. She's top notch.
I have a tremendous respect for her ethics and her intelligence.

17. DiFi also praised corrupt Chris Cox for SEC
A dickwad who, like Bush, consistently tried to water down corporate accountability and fair accounting legislation.

23. She belongs right where she is...
Edited on Sun Jul-31-05 01:37 AM by BrotherBuzz
in the state of California, that is. When she runs for higher office, I want her and her sound judgement to stay in Sacramento. Same thing goes for Jackie Speier. I have great expectations that they will continue to do good great things for California.
