To reflect polling showing a tightening general election race and California voters’ particularly sour mood about the direction of their state and the country, CQ Politics is changing its race rating from Likely Democratic to the increasingly competitive Leans Democratic.There is so much film of Boxer acting like a complete idiot it's hard to believe that there isn't at least one of these Republicans who can beat her.
Two polls conducted in March showed Boxer’s lead over two potential Republican challengers narrowing to a virtual tie. One of those two surveys, the Field Poll, had Boxer leading by double digits as recently as January.
And while the three Republican candidates for the GOP nomination – former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, former Rep. Tom Campbell and state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore – have benefited from plenty of earned media thanks to their testy primary battle, Boxer’s drop in the polls came before any of them were on the air with campaign ads.

Have you noticed that blogger Mickey Kaus has filed to run against her? And that the Dem "leadership" won't allow him to speak at their meetings?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw that. I don't know how competitive Kaus will really be. He'd certainly be a better Democrat in that office than Boxer is, but my guess is the fix is in as far as the Dem primary goes. Kaus may be able to make a little noise, but he won't be able to knock Boxer out of the nomination.
ReplyDeleteThe dems have been running the state for decades nicely showcasing how disastrous oppressive progressive liberalism is. Nice to finally have a decent choice for U.S. Senate. Chuck DeVore is the true constitutional conservative. If you want fiscal responsibility and liberty, vote for Chuck.
