They'll run, they'll win.

No doubt the majority would prefer a Mexican citizen:


Poll Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein shouldn't run again, majority of voters say

By SEEMA MEHTA

though U.S. Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein — two of California's most experienced political figures — remain popular, a majority of state voters say they should not run for reelection, according to a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll.

As analysts speculate about whether the Democratic stalwarts will seek additional six-year terms in coming years, 59% of registered voters said the state would be better off with new candidates for the two seats.

That sentiment was expressed by 79% of Republicans. But even many Democrats said it was time for new representation.

Forty-four percent of Democratic respondents preferred new candidates, compared with 43% who said Boxer and Feinstein should run again.

Interestingly, the two were elected to the Senate the same year. The biggest boost for DiFi's political career was the murders of George Moscone and Harvey Milk.

Maybe if you knew something about journalism your own reading would be more fruitfull:

The lede (that’s how journalists spell it) is the first paragraph of any news story. It’s also the most important. The lede must accomplish several things:

give readers the main points of the story
get readers interested in reading the story
accomplish both “a” and “b” in as few words as possible

Typically editors want ledes to be no longer than 35-40 words. Why so short? Readers want their news delivered quickly. A short lede does just that.

Ideally, you want to convey the message of the piece in the first line. The style of writing specific to print newspapers is designed to make it quick and efficient for the editor to razor your story to fit in the space available. Each paragraph above the bottom should stand alone as a stopping point, if needed. The entire lede is available without going past the pay firewall. The article you reference shows the first 78 words and conveys the entire jist of the article.

Was there something in the first sentence of the third paragraph in particular that caught your eye and "refudiates" the thrust of the lede? Didn't think so.

To suggest you have to read an entire article to concur with the premise of the article is nonsense. FWIW rarely does anyone get to read the full article as written by a journalist. They are almost all edited for length. I find it annoying in the electronic age that they don't include in the electronic version additional "column inches," since there would be no appreciable additional cost for doing so.

If you actually can quote the line you requested I would be impressed because it means you have a paid subscription to the WSJ. That would improve your understanding of economic matters if you actually read it consistently.

PS: Disgustipated...yeah, I "topped" that as well. Jealous?

You wouldn't know what to do without me. Seanh is too dumb to know the Union strategy behind it's support for the Minimum Wage, though no union member works for the Minimum Wage, is widely known in economic and management circles. Apparently in Sean's truck cab environment, it's unheard of.

You not understanding your own thread has nothing to do with Sean.
