Can Boxer hang on in 2010?
The Sacramento Bee ^ | August 9, 2009 | Dan Walters

......... while Boxer's popularity swings with the tides and rarely reaches beyond the magic 50% level.

Every six years, Republicans believe that with just the right candidate and just the right amount of money, they can knock off the woman they love to hate. And they are heartened again by a new poll showing Boxer barely leading the most likely 2010 challenger, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO and Republican Carly Fiorina hasn't even declared yet and she's closing in on Boxer to 45% to 41%. Conservative Republican Chuck DeVore could also grab this seat from Boxer.

Excerpt: The Rasmussen Reports poll found that 45% of California voters support Boxer's re-election with Fiorina at 41% and 7% undecided, much closer than a March poll. Fiorina isn't a declared candidate yet and also would have to defeat Chuck DeVore, a very conservative Republican legislator, for the GOP nomination.

Didn’t Carly screw up hewlitt-packard and then get rewarded with a very golden parachute?

I’m confident that the GOP can take this seat.

Well, you know, there are a large number of folks walking around here, saying, “I will vote for Boxer”. They say that almost transe-like, and have evidence of having had lobotomy surgery.

Everyone I know can’t stand Barbara Boxer I hope we can throw her ass out in 2010. Never could stand that nasty witch.

I have heard that former radio talk show host Larry Elder may also be interested in the race.

Then this race could very well be a struggle for Boxer.

This Saturday (August 15th), Boxer will be doing a booksigning at the Barnes and Noble on Stevens Creek Blvd in San Jose. Richard Geno and the Conservative Forum are sponsoring a protest at 1230 outside of the store. The more the merrier.

I wish I could be there! Tell her we want no part of any socialist healthcare system and ask her where’s Hussein’s birth cerificate?

Put up another milquetoast liberal RINO like Fiorina and she’ll win again. She’s one of the most vicious campaigners on the Dem side, and she has never lost a race since she came to DC in 1983.
