WTF.... wait for Pelosi and Hoyer to retire and he has a great shot at moving up in House leadership.
Pelosi will be in congress until she is either primaried or dies.

She doesn't have to be primaried.  Any Democrat that runs in her district could easily win 2nd place in the primary.  It's not uncommon for Green or Peace and Freedom party candidates to do better than Republicans.  A Democrat could easily beat any Republican and then try to pull a Swalwell in the general election.

Add Adam Schiff to the list. Alas, without a LBJ law the clown car won't be nearly as big as it could be. Sad

Never gonna happen. Pelosi cracked 70% even when she was challenged from both the left and the right simultaneously in 2008. Since Republicans are basically irrelevant in the district, her losing the general would require vast discontent about her among Democrats, which doesn't exist. The seat is hers until she retires or dies.

No she won't. She'll be in Congress until Hoyer retires.

Steyer isn't stupid.  He knows that establishment Democrats want Harris.  He will be back when Feinstein or Brown retire.

Even with self-funding, Steyer would still face a challenge in finding enough of a base to make the top two over Harris.

A Newsom vs. Steyer primary would be fascinating. San Francisco versus San Francisco.

If a candidate from SoCal like Loretta Sanchez, Xavier Becerra, or Villaraigosa ran, it seems like they would make it out of the jungle with a Someguy McRepublican.

“But you know you’ve got a whole lot of mayors who are going to stand with you, no matter what you decide.”

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, essentially endorsing Antonio Villaraigosa

I don't have a link (Miles or RogueBeaver might), but John Chiang is not running for Senate.

He should run in 2018 if Feinstein retires.

There's probably more local factors invloved here, but I don't think this is good for Villaraigosa:

Nobody else really stands out, except for maybe Loretta Sanchez. She's moderate relative to the delegation but could pull a Gillibrand and slide left if she were to get it.

Harris/Sanchez replacing Boxer/Feinstein would be great.

Doubt it would be long term like the current pair.
