And estimating that Hilton will make top two, a strong voiced counter will be essential, IMHO.

Plus he's an outsider. That might be the best counter considering the hole CA Dems appear to be in. Porter came off better than I expected. She was my rep. I campaigned for her. But then dropping out to run for Senate turned me off.
