Michael Reagan considering Senate bid against Feinstein

[WI_DEM]

Reagan for Senate
One Republican who is considering a run is Michael Reagan. "Yes," he said in an e-mail to The Chronicle Thursday, "but can't talk about it now." Reagan, who has never held public office, declined to respond to further questions.

While state Republicans wait for a Feinstein challenger to step up, her campaign doesn't know how her low approval ratings will affect the race.

"In the past, incumbents have always been able to separate themselves from that collective of negativity," Carrick said. "That's going to be a challenge this time."

14. Voted yes to reauthorize patriot act, yes on Iraq war resolution, hardcore drug warrior.

Etc. Sorry, but no more warmongering Dems. I will vote third party in that race.

17. You can get a progressive more to your liking elected, can't you?

Because if you can't (I seem to recall California has occasionally elected Republicans state-wide), I'll take her record over any prospective Republican.

[frylock]

16. i see that you overlooked the fact that she is making bank from these wars

9. LOL. Do you know anything about Michael Reagan?

The notion that the two are "the same" is preposterous.

3. Too bad Ron Jr. isn't a politician- he's all right, that one. n/t

[polichick]

8. Ron's great - not shy about speaking his mind at all. Recently he called Cheney...

...a war criminal twice on Hardball.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. He waited until Feinstein's funds were hit hard by embezzlement.

Now he thinks he has a shot.

[DURHAM D]

6. Has he ever had a real job? nt

[emulatorloo]

10. Does Limbaugh wannabe count? n/t

[polichick]

7. I'll bet Michael wishes he'd been named Ronald Jr.

[arbusto_baboso]

11. Let him waste his money on a vanity campaign.

he stands no chance in hell.

12. Hide the silver

13. That'd be good news for DiFi...a strong Repuke would sink her this time...

I think she's past her sell-by date...time to retire.
