In reply to maximilian. Interesting comments from Willie Brown but then you have to consider the source. I doubt Governor Clown is interested in the job since he already has a better one. Besides, Antonio Villaraigosa has a "broad intellect" too. He's always thinking about broads, and for a U.S. Senator, that's really important. Just ask Ted Kennedy.

Dyspeptic, thank you for your observations…on target. Add to the list of potential candidates the name, Jerry Brown. In Sunday’s Chronicle, Willie Brown tossed the Governor’s name into the pot based on the Governor’s popularity and ability to raise more money than anybody else. As Willie notes, the U.S. Senate “fits his broad intellect.” That’s touching.
Apparently, the only way an adult (read: Republican) will ever be elected to the Senate and/or Governor will be as the result of a Republican placing 2nd in the top-two vote-getter primary when two Democrats reduce the others vote count. I have my fingers crossed.

“As difficult as it is to imagine California without Barbara Boxer looking out for us in the U.S. Senate”

This quote from the arrogant, creepy and apparently senile octogenarian John Burton has to be the stupidest line from a California Dumbocrat so far this year.

There must be at least 1,000,000 people in the state who could do the job Boxer has been doing. Exactly what has she accomplished as Senator that a well trained Bonobo couldn’t manage?

Speaking of primate intelligence, or the lack thereof, I think the perfect replacement would be Villaraigosa. All of the right stuff is there – room temperature IQ, a penchant for asinine blather, knee jerk left wing agenda and a ludicrous sense of self importance.

But wait, there’s more. Elect Villaraigosa and we also get a constant stream of salacious gossip about who Mr. Happy Pants is sneaking around with. I’ve even got a few nicknames for him – “The Zorro of the Zipper” or how about “The Lord of the Fly”.

California voters are habituated to voting for women senators: Toni Atkins is THE ONE… She’s gay. She’s a she (XX chromasomes). Super simpatico and super pro-big unions. Just wait. It’s inevitable.

Sure, lots of “potential” candidates. But, when you look at credentials and seek someone who will actually do what they say what they will do, only one name surfaces…John Chiang. Sundheim, mostly unknown, deserves a look based on his previous activist work. Everyone else is fluff, gloss or hot air. Newsom and Kamala are eliminated early…name one thing either has accomplished in their current position. OK, Obama thinks Kamala is cute and Newsom blathers about how much he wants to eliminate the position of Lt. Governor as a ‘do-nothing’ job. He certainly has filled out the job description. “Newsom was sworn in for his second term as lieutenant governor by ‘his good friend’ Harris.” Isn’t that darling.? Villaraigosa wouldn’t win his own city…again what has he done for LA that he could use to catapult him to state level? If I had Steyer’s money, I’d be considered a candidate. He’s a one-trick (global warming…whoops, climate-change) pony. Don’t recall him ever bloviating on any other issue. Westly…quiet and out-of-the-loop. Kashkari…he may run, but people will remember his fumbling against Brown.

Stick with Chiang…for now.
