Not only that, but Feinstein is ostensibly the Senator of Silicon Valley, and should know better.
- _delirium 16y agoShe's also the Senator of Hollywood, though, and traditionally the LA-based media industry has had more clout in California politics than the Bay-Area-based tech industry has.
- flyt 16y agoWe should change this.
- joeybaker 16y agoTechnically true, but Feinstein is from NorCal (San Francisco) Boxer is from SoCal (near Riverside). In a big state like CA, there's a bit of an unofficial division of loyalties.
- chc 16y agoYes, but it's unofficial enough that a little bit of money can easily reverse it. In practice, state officials will act like the unions' whores and national officials will be cozy with whoever chose to spend time and money on them.
