Although I disagree with most of the domestic and foreign policy views of Dianne Feinstein, she does have a couple of positives over a far left arrogant Barbara Boxer.  Boxer has accomplished little during many years in the Senate, and she doesn't respond to well written e-mails and letters.  Let's hope that a conservative can replace her in 2010.

By contrast, Dianne Feinstein has been a mayor and Senator.  Recently she warned that the longer it takes for Pres. Obama to implement a comprehensive Afghanistan strategy, the greater the chances are for al-Qaeda and the Taliban to strengthen and carry out organized attacks on civilians and our troops.  

Feinstein is stronger than Boxer on national security issues, and at times she's worked with the GOP.  Moreover, Feinstein at least responds to e-mails and letters from concerned citizens, even if one disagrees with most of her positions on domestic issues.  I can respect that.
