[Sosfbay-discuss] Again, The Awful DIANE FEINSTEIN

[Tian Harter]

The only time I can remember seeing Diane Feinstein live with my own
eyes was late in October of 1992. She attended a rally in Sacramento,
where I was just another face in the crowd.

I'm wondering if running against her will give me a chance to meet her....
