Lucas donated to Boxer way back like 15 years ago, was she as nutty then as she is now?
I don't think there's ever been a time when Boxer's been un-nutty.
Nobody knew like they do now. It was her first Senate election. She was an activist wife of a ultra-wealthy financier.
Remember, boxer won in the vaunted "Year of the Woman". Any woman would have won. Just like any Black actors other than Denzel or Halle would have won the Oscar in the "Black Oscars" 2 years back. (Crowe in "Beautiful Mind" was 100x better than Denzel in "Training Day")
She used to hang red coat hangers all around Marin county near election posters of her opposition. You decide!
