>Worst of all she's considered to be basically impossible to replace. It would be very nice to see CA stop giving her money and put a significant challenger forward but it's probably not good ROI to attempt.

The only type of person that has a chance is a celebrity. If Arnold can win governor as a Republican, then a left-wing celeb can definitely primary Feinstein.

Why would a left wing celebrity who is definitely a member of the guilded class want to primary someone who is a protector of a guilded class?

Because some people like being senator for its own sake.

Kevin de Leon is running against her and has some political and media support. Unfortunately, he's far to the left of her on the issue of gun control and that alone may nullify whatever small chance he had of getting elected.

Is his district (LA) particularly pro gun?

Senate races are statewide and so districts are irrelevant.

If he's running for US Senate, all of California will be voting for him or Feinstein. And parts of California are extremely pro gun, and parts are extremely anti gun.

I have high hopes for Alison Hartson.
