Fiorina boxed Boxer’s ears!

[ExTexasRedhead]

Boxer’s and Pelosi’s names elicit profanity whenever they’re mentioned whether it be at social events, at the grocery store, at the mall, wherever. Feinstein is in the same league with these two.

No love around here for any of the three.

[COBOL2Java]

The debate wasn't so much conservative vs. liberal as between freedom and dependency...

...or between brains and rocks.

[Ev Reeman]

Fiorina drew a lot of blood on the economy and jobs.

[Ev Reeman]

Wasn’t even close. Carly won the debate by a landslide.

[newheart]

In before the FioRino bashers who apparently would rather have Boxer remain in office.

[ssaftler]

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I won’t be convinced until after the votes are cast, counted and CERTIFIED. Until then, too much “strangeness” can occur...

[snoringbear]

“Wasn’t even close. Carly won the debate by a landslide.”

Go Carly! I am worried though, in these close races across the country, the grave yard vote, union rigging and Acorn mischief will be rampant. The GOP will have to be extremely viligent to minimize these creeps actions.

[DreamingWest]

Carly,RINO or not, Boxer has been destroying CA for as long as I have lived here... Beyond time to go.

[Names Ash Housewares]

“Carly,RINO or not, Boxer has been destroying CA for as long as I have lived here... Beyond time to go.”

I’d vote for a bag of dog crap over Boxer.

I doubt I will be happy with Fiorina, maybe I will be surprised, anything would be an improvement. But at this point it is ONLY about getting rid of Boxer at all costs. It’s critical for republicans to get control of the senate again and that is the larger national issue at stake that trumps whether she is a RINO or not.

[Vinnie]

I suppose there is no chance Queen Nancy can be unseated.?

[TaMoDee]

Absolutely -— NONE!

[Obadiah]

I hope Fiorina wins, but no one on this board had better raise an eyebrow when Fiorina starts voting like Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins.

Yeah, of course Fiorina is miles away better than Boxer, and to see Boxer kicked to the curb would be a special delight, but I have no illusions that Fiorina will be a dedicated RINO that in all likelihood will servre to pull Obama’s chestnuts from the fire in the future — and perhaps on more than one occasion. Think John McCain in a skirt. Just so everyone is aware of this probability.

[Ev Reeman]

Even a RINO would be superior to a committed far left commie liberal like Boxer.

[wardaddy]

i have yet to see anyone here say they support Boxer.

please post such a preposterous claim if you have proof...I’d like to holler at them

Wasn’t even close. Carly won the debate by a landslide.

I'm glad to see that Fiorina won the debate. It's always better to win than lose. But I don't know that it will make a difference. In her first run for the Senate, Boxer debated Bruce Hershenson. It was a slaughter. Hershenson beat her about as bad as I've ever seen anyone beaten in a major debate. But it didn't make a difference because the type of idiots and zealots who vote for Boxer didn't listen to the debated and even if they did, they were going to vote for Boxer no matter what.

The state has a 2 to 1 voter registration in favor of Democrats and that's hard to overcome. And NEVER underestimate the unbounded stupidity of the California electorate. The typical California voter is simply dumb as a box of rocks. Maybe this time Fiorina will get through to the Voters. 12.5% unemployment just might be the reason for a break through. She has a better chance of winning than a man just because women are still apt to vote for a conservative woman over a conservative man. Although the polls showed Campbell doing better against Boxer than Fiorina. Go figure. I'll keep my fingers crossed and vote for Fiorina but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I've been disappointed too many times.

[newheart]

No one in their right mind would actually say they support Boxer on this forum. But let’s be real. Carly gets regularly bashed as a Rino. One can only deduce that someone who seeks to diminish Fiorina must know they are helping ‘Madam Senator.’

[OrangeHoof]

Fiorina drew a lot of blood on the economy and jobs.

Good for her. If she can stay on message, this will be her best weapon. Any Republican who doesn't bash Democrats on the economy and jobs is too stupid to understand the gift they have been handed.

[Catsrus]

We can’t call her Madame. How about we call her unemployed?

This has a nice ring to it.
