So there’s finally a candidate willing to challenge Tom Lantos. This has been floating around since early last year , but it appears to be serious now, and it’s much overdue.

Speier isn’t the most progressive politician in California (or even in the district) but she’s a lot better than Lantos. Naturally, I assume Rep. Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the incumbents will support Lantos, but he’s way out of touch with his district and should have (been) retired long ago.
