	Viewpoint: Blood on the debate floor (Doris'): Sacramento for Democracy
		Doris Matsui and her camp are awfully good at speaking for us voters, as indeed are the members of the Democratic political machine (of which the Bee editorial made mention) who appointed Doris Matsui as her husband's replacement by throwing their political support and their cash behind her.
		Matsui, who had hoped to wait longer before making any political move, was urged by advisers to head off potential rivals by announcing her intentions early on and calling Sacramento friends and political movers and shakers to back her up....
		Doris Matsui is benefitting not just from the Democratic political machine's premature, knee-jerk endorsement and big money, but she is benefitting from the abbreviated campaign (the special election on March 8 is just a little more than two months after Robert Matsui's death), much like Arnold Schwarzenegger benefitted from the short gubernatorial recall election campaign.
