someone who knows an awful lot about what it is like to work on capitol hill joining us live is jackie spear. good to see you. jackie: these are three very talented people. they are the superstars in this race. it will be really fascinating to watch. dan: it will be very competitive. what do you think about the timing of barbara lee's announcement? the third candidate to enter the race. jackie: i think it had more to do with her wanting to respect senator feinstein and her announcement as opposed to jumping and before she had announced. adam schiff actually announced earlier and so did katie porter, and got the whole group moving because she announced right after the first of the year. i don't know that timing at this point will make much difference. i think what will really have an effect is how each of them connects with the electorate. 47% are democrats, 24% are republicans, 23% are independent. the independents will play a really important role. dan: that is where a lot of the pitches will be made, i assume. this is expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive senate races in
