Democrats worried about an expensive primary war for Dianne Feinstein's seat

It would be to the benefit of everyone if they just convinced her to retire.

I get why people think of Feinstein as a moderate Democrat instead of someone as liberal as, say, Boxer. But Feinstein's average approval score from the Americans for Democratic Action is a hair under 90%, so she's clearly no centrist. She is liberal, she's just no Boxer or Sanders.

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, Feinstein has just been on the wrong side of all the wrong issues, most detrimentally civil liberties and the War on Terror. She's also obscenely corporate.
