And left office fairly unpopular. The current mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, is a better choice.

after the election as who we needed for the next Presidential election. I have not seen the debate yet, but I will look for it online (I don't have CNN).

She's one of my senators and I have mixed feelings about her. While she is a reliable Democratic vote, in my experience her office has not been very responsive to constituent concerns; all you get back is a noncommittal form letter that doesn't address what you asked about. I've given up; if I had something I really needed to contact a senator about I'd go to Franken instead. She is sharp and competent but I have some concerns about how willing she would be to fight hard to support a controversial position.

of correspondence they get. I've never been offended by that kind of response from my legislators, as long as their votes reflect my concerns.

And Klobuchar's re-election numbers show that the voters are very satisfied with her.

that she's presidential material.

I only saw little bits of the debate last night, but I didn't think her personality was right. Right now I am favoring Kamala Harris.

Don't forget her. We have so many good Democrats working for us.

And all fresh faces. Experienced, relatively young, highly qualified and minus years of baggage and hard feelings.

time sorting out who I'd vote for...they are all so awesome and I love them all. We certainly have a wealth of riches on our side. I just moved back home from overseas and I will try to do what I can to help in 2018 and 2020...right now I have some housing issues, so it won't be happening until, hopefully, the spring of 2018...that's what happen when a tree falls on your house and we have all this awful weather shit happening...I consider myself very lucky right now.

then you are lucky -- and I'm glad for you.

But it's Julian, not Juan.

57 is younger than a lot of those who have expressed interest or been courted. We really really need to find younger people. There are fantastic people who have aged far past where it is comfortable. I would sure vote for those I like if they were the candidate but would be concerned about the age factor, not that it totally matters. Still, we need younger candidates who can be influential for years to come.

I knew she would be good, I was really happy with her up there. I did not know she was 57. She would be a good age.
