Dianne Feinstein: outlook “bad”

In the not to be missed category, Sen. Dianne Feinstein stepped way out of the spin cycle yesterday, as she is often wont to do.

Feinstein was at a campaign event for Sen. Barbara Boxer in San Jose,and was asked by KTVU’s Randy Shandobil how things were going, and she replied, “bad.”

Feinstein is Boxer’s campaign co-chair.

Shandobil asked whether Feinstein meant in the House, which Democrats are widely expected to lose, and Feinstein didn’t answer. Later, after the event, she (un)clarified this much: “I think the prevailing view is, and I don’t think this is necessarily correct, is that it’s a very difficult time, there’s no question about that.”

Boxer is locked in a toss up with Republican Carly Fiorina. Although an LAT poll over the weekend put Boxer ahead 8 points, most other polls, including internal GOP polls, show Fiorina about a point behind.

This tight race in California is making Feinstein nervous.

I just hope Fiorina doesn’t end up doing for California what she’s done for some of the companies she’s worked for….
