Will she? Won't she? And what if she does?
That poll Matier and Ross published in The Chronicle showing Sen. Dianne Feinstein beating out all the other Democrats hands down in the governor's primary for 2010 is driving all the other wannabe candidates crazy, especially Attorney General Jerry Brown.
I know Dianne has talked to at least one person about the governor's race. But she will never say so publicly, because if it got out that she was even "looking" at a possible run for governor, it would be the same as saying that she's in.
But trust me, Dianne needs to be assured she is going to win before she runs for anything. There is no way at this stage of her life that she would risk a loss.
If she does get in, it's over, at least on the Democratic side. Everybody, and I mean everybody, else steps out.
That would mean Jerry Brown would stay on as attorney general - which means that San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, who has been thinking of running for AG, would probably run for mayor instead.
As for Gavin Newsom, he would immediately defer to Dianne and hope that she appoints him as her replacement in the Senate.
In fact, Gavin should call and offer to be Dianne's campaign chairman if she runs.
And he should make that call today, before anyone else beats him to it.

did if forget anyone?
LOL !! The NEW, forward thinking!, 21st Century RATS nominee! No platform, not much in the win column, hasn't said anything coherent in 35 years!
Oh yeah! That's who should run California! /S
Oh PS: PELOSI is busy saving the planet! :-)
difi’s comments about gasoline proved that she shouldn’t be in public office.
jerry brown messed up california for 8 years, not to mention his later offices—who would want him back?
the unions for one.
I don’t find the Stein very fine.
Shouldn’t she be in jail for voting her husband all those contracts? oh wait, she’s a rat. NM :-)
yeah, he’s a billionaire and he needs some help from his wife.
I thought I read here yesterday that Barbara Boxer was interested?
news to me!
bababo
is
stupid.
Nevermind....
Who might replace Feinstein in the Senate? Another flaming lefty I suppose. Unless under President Obama the American people finally wake up and 2010-12 are good GOP years. Still it would have to be a huge landslide for CA to elect a Republican senator.
I can check Feinstein’s age but don’t know it off hand. She’s in her late 60s isn’t she? You’d think she would want to retire but so many of these people just keep running for office until they’re ancient.

She’s in her 70’s. At one time, I think she really desperately wanted to be President and thought she could make it. Now she’s past the age for that (older than McCain!) and will have to settle for trying to be Governor of CA. I don’t want ANY of the currently-mentioned people leading this state.
exactly - her milcom chairmanship - that was swept under the carpet - as best i recall, her 'punishment' was to give up the chairmanship but SHE IS STILL ON THE COMMITTEE
to borrow nancy pelosi's words - "culture of corruption"
>>did if forget anyone?
• John Garamendi (D)
• Carly Fiorina (R—cough!)
• Tom Campbell (R—cough!)

” She’s in her late 60s isn’t she?”
She’ll be in her mid 70’s in 2010.
She is 75. So she would be 77 in 2010. Too old and too liberal to be governor as far as I am concerned.
