Topic: Senator Michael Reagan? We Can Only Hope

[trapeze]

Ah well, we can dream...

This year, as 1,000 GOP activists gather today in Los Angeles for their fall convention, things are different, as even the California Republican Party chairman has no idea who will take on 19-year-incumbent Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein next year - and no major candidates have stepped up.

But the landscape may change soon, analysts said, given Feinstein's recent campaign money problems and a Field Poll released today that gives one of California's most consistently popular politicians a 41 percent approval rating, the lowest of her Senate career.

One person considering a run, The Chronicle has learned, is Michael Reagan, a former conservative talk-radio host and the son of former President Ronald Reagan.

One Republican who is considering a run is Michael Reagan. "Yes," he said in an e-mail to The Chronicle Thursday, "but can't talk about it now." Reagan, who has never held public office, declined to respond to further questions.

While state Republicans wait for a Feinstein challenger to step up, her campaign doesn't know how her low approval ratings will affect the race.

"In the past, incumbents have always been able to separate themselves from that collective of negativity," Carrick said. "That's going to be a challenge this time."

It seems that all election in California are under the direction of the powerful Teachers Union. They successfully railroaded the Candidates for Gov. and Senator last election. They are the power in California, just as Unions control elections in Nevada.

Now of course buyers remorse will befall both those States if haven't already. Given that Harry Reid 6 more years surely has Nevadians shaking there head. In California, Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown will soon turn off the electorate. Who knows, maybe Micheal Reagan could sneak in as a protest vote. Certainly hope so!
