Taken from a Power Line<\/a> article posted today by Steven Hayward:<\/p>\n

I have a good conservative friend who has lived in Washington, DC most of his adult life, where he is a registered Democrat<\/a>, so that he could vote for Marion Barry<\/a> in Democratic primaries, on the theory that \u201cif you can\u2019t have effective government, at least you can have entertaining government.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article is about the Democrat race in California<\/a> to replace Barbara Boxer<\/a>. The author of the article feels that the above quote defines the race.<\/p>\n

The article also mentions another aspect of the race:<\/p>\n

Former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa<\/a> is said to be interested in running, and also Rep. Loretta Sanchez<\/a>. Mixed-race (and therefore a two-fer) Attorney General Kamala Harris<\/a> has indicated she may make the race. Lt. Governor Gavin Newsome<\/a>, perhaps the leading white guy Dem in the state, will probably take a pass and run for governor in 2018 instead. So is there another white guy anywhere who might make a serious candidate? Ah yes, Tom Steyer is thinking about it<\/a>. I think he\u2019s going to be surprised when he finds out he doesn\u2019t have the proper melanin privilege for today\u2019s Democratic Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But he will deliver lots of comedy gold in any case, such as his comment to the Puffington Host<\/em> a few days ago that \u201cPeople rail that democracy has been subverted to powerful economic interests, that \u2018we the people\u2019 have been overlooked. Based on what I have seen over the last several years, I fear there\u2019s some truth in that charge, and that scares me\u2014badly.\u201d \u201cPowerful economic interests\u201d?\u2014from a billionaire who spent $100 million trying to influence the last election? I\u2019d say \u201cthat\u2019s rich,\u201d but the irony would be too obvious, even for a liberal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

California is, after all, the home of the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
