How does Tom Campbell lead in general election polling? I'm astonished people even know who the guy is. He's a total has-been, not having even been a Congressman for a decade. Why would he have a lead above Fiorina against Boxer? It would make sense if all Republicans lead Boxer. But why him?

Ever considered it could be that male voters see Boxer as a total, well you know, and could very well see Fiorina the same way.

Boxer and Fiorina differ in politics but they don’t really differ with personality. It might not make a difference with female voters but men generally don’t like voting for women they perceive to be as b’s and for better or worse both Fiorina and Boxer are seen that way.

He’s perceived as a moderate, therefore he can attract conservative democrats and independents.

“But why him?”

He is campaigning and wants to be seen as fiscal conservative and social moderate.

That is probably how the majority of California voters describe themselves.

And why shouldn’t he be? It is precisely because he isn’t another glib, Ken-doll candidate that he is winning.
