California Democratic Party offers no endorsements in U.S. Senate or governor's races
The California Democratic Party decided not to endorse in the U.S. Senate contest on Saturday, an embarrassing rebuke of veteran Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Feinstein, who has represented California in the Senate for a quarter-century, is facing an insurgent bid by a fellow Democrat, state Senate leader Kevin de León.
He earned nearly 500 more votes than the senator, who was first elected in 1992.
Though De León did not get the endorsement, his success in blocking Feinstein from receiving it shows that his calls for generational change and a more aggressively liberal path have resonated with some of the party’s most passionate activists.
Feinstein has never been a state party glad-hander, while De León has cultivated relationships with the party’s delegates. He still faces a significant challenge in trying to topple Feinstein, who trounces De León in all public polling and fund-raising.

We will deserve whatever HORROR awaits us if we take down powerful, smart people like Dianne.
How in the HELL does the leader of the CA party not see what is happening?
