2010 Gov-CA "Sen. Feinstein Won't Run" (by Kyle Trygstad, RCP Politics 2/17/10)

Was this to be expected, or is it a big surprise? I'm not familiar with that area.

I doubt she would give up her time in the Senate on something that may not pan out well for her.

Yep, I think that's what is happening... although Dems tried to play up both candidates to see who might fare better.. and they are finding that both Feinstein and Jerry Brown would be neck and neck against GOP, but neither is a conclusive win. So, she has no real impetus to run for Governor.

Plus she has to much time invested in the Senate she needs to stay put. She is not planning a run for POTUS. I have always admired Senator Feinstein I remember being a little girl when she became the first mayor of San Francisco I remember being very proud of her.

As of last night Newsom, the mayor of SF (which is bankrupt) filed papers to run as
Lt. Governor, forget working for the people of SF. Should he be elected, the Board
of supervisors will appoint a mayor, to serve out his term.

This ought to get people of SF in a mood that will worsen, and not get better at a time when everyone is being cut off or cut back.

I'd like to see a Brown/Brown ticket, but don't look for Willie Brown to come to
rescue of SF. Jerry Brown has until 12 Mar to declare his run.
