"Here’s the deal, recent polls show this race as a dead heat for second place. Second place really matters, because the top two primary finishers advance to the general.
"Schiff is currently polling in first place, and because general election polls show I have a strong chance of winning in a head to head matchup, Schiff is spending millions of dollars to consolidate GOP support behind former LA Dodger, Steve Garvey. As Slate reported:
"If Garvey does advance, it would essentially ensure that a centrist like Schiff would win the general election for the Senate seat—a coup for the old-guard Democratic moderates like Nancy Pelosi, and a frustrating miss for progressives hoping to shift Feinstein’s old seat at least slightly to the left."
This race is not about me. It’s about the future of our country and of our party. Washington is broken, and the answer isn’t to send more of the same."
Give to one candidate and you inbox is always full. Here is today's message (at least the guts of) from Katie Porter. I want Schiff to be the candidate, so won't be contributing to Katie.
A simple question: since when did a fairly large chunk of the Dem party decide that Adam Schiff is a hated centrist? I certainly regard him as a liberal. But Katie puts him in the same cursed 'centrist' bucket as Nancy Pelosi, whom i also would not write off as a blankety-blank centrist.
