We only have 3 parties in California - the Moderate Left, the Far Left and the Looney Left!
Not a Dem but I agree this seems like the more reasonable group for DCC. Unfortunately the party has moved very far left, particularly in the state legislature. When a Democrat (sorry can't remember her name) voted against her party on a gas tax, she was punished by being stripped of her committee positions. They do tend to vote in lockstep, there are few moderates left. They appear to be scared to cross Scott Wiener, no matter how looney his policy proposals are. Hopefully San Mateo Democrats will vote in some old school common sense Democrats who start to turn this ship around.
Perhaps part of Scott Wiener's purpose in life is to keep his name (and picture) out there in the local media. If he's termed out before Congress person Pelosi steps aside, someone else may have usurped his "place in line" to succeed her.
