The race to fill the late California Senator Dianne Feinstein's seat is on, and according to a new poll, Representatives Adam Schiff and Katie Porter are neck and neck. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!

One of the few cases where I'm just excited to see who wins.
Either would be a fantastic senator. Good choice either way. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console. Started on: 12/1/2009 http://i.imgur.com/mPvcy.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Let's go Porter! Why would we not want the most leftward and electable candidate in a solid Dem state? Not having at least a progressive if not a DSA type is just leaving points on the board.

But they won't be able to run for both the House and Senate at the same time, so someone will have to win the Democratic primary for those house seats. --- Who cares if Bosa is racist? ... Copied to Clipboard!

One of the few cases where I'm just excited to see who wins. My only concern is that if Porter wins, that House seat goes Republican. I'd otherwise be happy with any of the Democratic candidates. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!

Porter's unlikely to win, Republicans are allowed to vote on this race and I doubt they'll let a progressive woman in over a moderate man.

This is going to be an interesting election. Adam clearly is much more qualified, but then again Porter is like everyone's favorite. I think demograhically California should favor Katie more, but experience wise Schiff deserves the seat. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I used to live there, and its pretty Trumpy. Theres a real risk it will go back to a Republican. --- ___ Sari, Mom to DS (07/04) and DD (01/08); Pronouns: she/her/hers ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well there's that, but a lot of CA Dems also don't want to (potentially) trade a House seat just to get Porter in the Senate. The 2 other Democrats in the race could each do a fine job in the Senate. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!

I hear that more and more as a reason to support Lee or Schiff. Never hear anything bad about Porter herself, but people really want to keep that seat. --- Putin delenda est ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't hate Schiff like a few posters here further left of me, however I'd still prefer Porter because she's just badass.
However, keeping the OC seat, as some people have pointed out, is also valuable in itself. That's a historically red county that so far only Porter has demonstrated she can keep in modern times. I'd love her as a Senator, however we also can't afford to be losing House seats. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

Porter > Schiff >>>>> Lee In terms of who I like. I don't care which of the two win, I just hope it's decisive early enough that the loser can withdraw and keep his/her House seat. It'd be tragic if either ends up totally out of Congress after this, and Porter's seat is especially precarious since it's a very purple district, I think even slightly red? So strategy wise, I guess the ideal is Schiff wins and Porter keeps holding that seat that Reps could probably flip if she left it... ... Copied to Clipboard!

FWIW, I can't see Schiff's seat going Republican barring something truly spectacular. Even then, there's not much of a GOP there anymore. That's the Burbank area extended, which has a lot of SAG-AFTRA and Writer's Guild types.
