WASHINGTON — Just a few weeks into the new congressional session, many are beginning to wonder aloud: "What's up with Barbara Boxer?"

The first week of the session, the California Democrat led the Senate challenge over certifying the Ohio presidential vote, citing irregularities.

In the end, she stood alone against certification, with 74 of her colleagues — including Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and 33 other Democrats — favoring the count.

Last week, Boxer was all over Condoleezza Rice at her confirmation hearing to be President Bush's new secretary of state. Boxer all but called Rice a liar over her statements leading up to the war in Iraq as Bush's national security adviser.

Babs is trying to position herself as the leader of the frothy left. While Hilary is trying to position herself as the leader of the moderate left.

Of course she has a mental problem. She's a liberal socialist pig.

Why would any of that happen. She just won a healthy victory. Most Californicators voted for her.

Let's don't go impugning Jim Traficant (D, criminal, Ohio,).

I'm starting to believe that thesis that Babs and Hitlery are playing good cop, bad cop. Hillary will look absolutely moderate next to Babs the Bi***.........they are so easy to figure out. All you have to do is have a few drinks, lose some IQ points and hate everything and you become one

making Hillary look reasonable.

My take, as well. She is testing the waters.

An all female ticket in 2008? ...... not likely, but you never know.

Bruce Cain, head of the Institute for Government Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, said California Democrats have a tremendous appetite for what Boxer has to offer on the national stage.

"There are a lot of Democrats who think Ohio was a fraud," he said.

Probably a long term strategy ... turn boxer into the lightening rod so mr rodham clinton starts to look ok ... it will not work

That may be, but she is very sick, IMHO. That alone takes her out of the target practice.

Who in the world is going to help that woman? I am reminded of the movie, "Network" every time I see her lately. Ms. Boxer's rantings and actions are being idolized by the deluded Left, so I doubt that they will stop her.

I looked very closely at that picture of Ms. Boxer crying at the press conference after she held up the electoral process. There is something very wrong with that poor woman.

for not running a viable candidate opposite Boxer when we had a primo opportunity.

Who would you have suggested?

"There are a lot of Democrats who think Ohio was a fraud," he said.

I wonder how many think Wisconsin was a fraud?
