For me, issues of civil liberty and rule of law were key in voting against continued Republican dominance of our country. To be fair, it's true that even had the Democrats nominated Godzilla for President, I would have voted for him -- and put up a sign saying, "Elect The Imaginary Giant Movie Lizard!")
But I didn't vote for a new government, only to see it perpetuate Bush's crimes. Among other things, my vote was against torture, against ignoring the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Feinstein is one of my Senators; I've never much cared for her, and would be happy to work for any Progressive Democrat who looked like they had a chance of unseating her.
