Dissing DiFi

I haven't been a California resident for 15 years, but DiFi (Diane Feinstein) was my Senator for 10 years as she took office 26 years ago. Now POLITICO reports the CA Democratic Party executive committee has voted "no confidence" in her bid for reelection.

The vote was 65% for her Dem. opponent de Leon, 28% for "no endorsement," and 7% for Feinstein. My horseback estimate says roughly 2 party activists out of 3 want her to lose in November.

CA's odd "jungle primary" system means she faces another Democrat - Kevin de Leon - as they were the two leading vote getters in June. Polls suggest she will win anyway, being much more well-known than de Leon.
