I'm talking strictly about the Liberal POSTERS on SI, no elected or formerly elected officials count.

Thanks a lot I got lost in National Politics. I lived in CA when Dianne Feinstein ran for governor and lost. I also saw her square off against her opponents for the nomination of her party and the eventual run for her first Senate term. When she debated a member of the opposition she embarrassed them with her knowledge and her skills. Later I saw a C-Span program hosted by Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham during the Western energy crisis. As we all know, California was addressing the problem by blaming everyone else and then suing everyone into submission. To this day I don’t know if one or all the companies paid so they could move on. I do know that The Governor of California assisted me in moving to Nevada without any thought on my part whatsoever. The Grey finally stumbled at 5 furlongs and was scratched forever. They never once tried to balance the argument by admitting deregulation was a failure, and always would be if the state protected the individual consumer from rate increases, while the utility’s costs were going through the roof. All the representatives of the Western States were either Governors or Senators at the energy conference in Washington. She did indeed plead a case for California that demanded federal intervention in her state’s problem. She also discussed the energy needs of an expanding West, with information, concern, and oratory skills that were second to no one in the room. Thanksalot likes Dianne Feinstein and he has written her for information and commended her a couple of times for her work, not her politics. She would make a very competent Cabinet Member in a Democratic Administration. I don’t see her as a liberal, but one who moves through the party with class, skill and usually has a total grasp of the situation. I have been disappointed in her when I saw her with Reid, but I’m sure the appearance was necessary. I have never seen her on official display with Barbara Boxer. That means ol' thanks was very lucky. Barbara, bless her heart, is very ill with the leftist disease and doesn’t really know she has it. She thinks sweating is un-American and punishable by a higher tax bracket.
