SAN FRANCISCO ? The trays inside the North Beach Art Gallery were arranged just so, an eye-pleasing array of cheeses and fruits and light salads surrounded by large paintings of green-and-purple landscapes ? some replacing nudes that had been stored away for the evening, one of the guests volunteered.
But food and art weren't Friday evening's focal point. Money and politics were.
"I thank you for your contribution tonight ? it means everything to me," incumbent Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) told a diverse crowd of more than 100 supporters at the happy-hour reception that raised $10,000.
"You may think that writing a $10 check or a $20 check doesn't matter. I have an opponent who could write himself probably a $10-million check. But it doesn't carry the clout of the $25 check ? from you."

Hmm... I thought she had this thing wrapped up..
Boxer quote: "I have an opponent who could write himself probably a $10-million check. But it doesn't carry the clout of the $25 check ? from you."
Hey... Tell that to John Corzine and Maria Cantwell...
Anyway... How about this for a thought? A Republican Senator catching a positive tailwind behind Arnold and (call it) his economic boom?
The LAT won't float it of course... But recently they have displayed their irrelevancy in California.
So, what say you Californian freepers?
Oh, and at the same time, one could demand that Senator Kerry either begins spending more time on the Senate floor fighting for the American people, or do the honorable thing. Like another fellow veteran did who ran for the highest office in the land.
Step down from the senate floor.
Like Sen. Bob Dole did in 1996.
Money is speech.. Bring it on..
Jones should dig into his personal fortune ASAP.
It is of critical importance for Bill Jones to replace Barbara Boxer in the Senate. He CAN win if he has enough money.
I have maxed out to him...I encourage FReepers from all over the country to please contribute to his campaign.
You can contribute through his web site:

Let's elect a conservative Republican Senator to replace the most liberal Democratic Senator in the Senate.
