Feinstein won't run

Feinstein has announced that she will not put her name on the ballot if there's a recall election. She's adopted the party line:

"I view this recall as a very flawed process," said Feinstein, who defeated a recall measure when she was mayor of San Francisco in the 1980s.

"The recall is really there for gross moral turpitude, corruption or some extraneous terrible circumstance in which you have to remove somebody from office," she said. "Now the state's having a rough time. So is every other state in the union right now."
