She is so entrenched with the hand outs and illegals (who vote twice) that is is hard to unseat her. Repubbies don’t try hard enough in her territory. I do think if they got a person who can really go after her—she could be thrown out. Crap and trade, etc. However, she hangs in there—really a dumb ass too.
I remember in '92 the first time she ran for the Senate (the much-vaunted Year of the Woman). They dug up a last-minute smear against her opponent, Bruce Herschenson, who would've made a great senator. This was mere days before the election, Herschenson didn't have time to respond to the charges (the same type of crap that the dems pulled with the Bush decades-old DUI).
And this was AFTER Blabs was found to be armpit-deep in the House banking scandal. She got elected and has been squatting there for three terms without any serious challenges. Simply disgusting :-(
