(36,498 posts)Both are up to speed and would hit the ground running
And pooh on all you who say that they are to old (Speier is 67 and Giarmende is 72), my Magic 8-Ball says they are good for many, many years of spectacular service to the state of California.
Oh, did I mention I trust their judgment explicitly?

(36,498 posts)Judy Chu has a great voting report card and a graduate of UCLA (a big plus for this Bruin dad )
Does she have any name recognition outside her district?

(47,580 posts)You remind me of Hugh Hewitt. In the 90s he had a column in an Orange County magazine and he "predicted" the loss of Gray Davis (before the recall) and the loss of Boxer, of Feinstein..

(4,492 posts)I will remind you of my late Senator, Frank Lautenberg, who was reelected in 2008 and didn't live to serve out his term. He was 84 then and died in 2013 at 89. It is something to consider when you're electing an 80 something to a 6 year term.
(Filling the seat turned into a clusterfuck thanks to Christie, but that's a story for another day).
