She broke with the left-wing of the party by being vocally pro-Iraq War and spending a lot of capital and time trying to make illegal to "disrespect" the American flag. Pretty much, she is an hawk on foreign affairs. A lot of Democrats backed Bush on Iraq at the time albeit don’t remember the numbers off the top of my head A majority to be exact. www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/107-2002/s237

These days, it is considered to be a significant blemish on your record in a primary. Ed Markey also voted for it (in the House) and I’m not seeing him being punished by the far left (Oh oops he is one of their leaders!)

Are you sure Jerry Brown more left wing then Newsome? The Dead Kennedys didn't think so. Although they predicted (incorrectly) "soon I will be President"!

She has to be one of the only people in Capitol Hill that both people on the right and people on the left (and on the centre) would be happy to see the back of.

I really don’t understand why every single political expert has CA-25 as high likelihood of elimination , it would make much more sense if one of the inner-city LA seats were eliminated…

It’s an independent Commission. (And Kevin McCarthy’s seat is the safest GOP seat in the West Coast)

I see Governor Chris Sununu was in hospital, now out but if he has potential long term health issues wonder if that may influence his decision about running for the New Hampshire senate seat next year?

See, more evidence that the Republicans are preparing for a coup.

See, more evidence that the Republicans are preparing for a coup. Unfortunately for them, it won't work. How do I know this? Because they've told me President Biden is senile, which means he won't remember any coup and will therefore continue on as President as if nothing has happened.
