Miscellaneous
When the delegates to the California Democratic Party convention refused to endorse the candidacy of veteran Democrat -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein, many speculated that the reason had to do with either Feinstein's advanced age or her moderate stance on some issues. Wrong on both counts. What the delegates were saying was that -- in these dynamic and perilous times -- underachievers need not apply. Feinstein has been a failure, and doesn't have much to show for her 25 years in the Senate. This should be her last race. That message was loud and clear.
