OC Register ^ | 9/1/2010 | Dena Bunis, Washington Bureau Chief

Posted on 09/01/2010 6:56:42 PM PDT by americanophile

Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer and her Republican opponent Carly Fiorina will square off Wednesday night in the only debate scheduled so far in a race that polls show is a toss up between the two women.

The hour-long event at St. Mary’s College in Moraga begins at 7 p.m. It will be televised on CBS affiliates up and down the state, including on KTTV in Los Angeles. The debate is being sponsored by the San Francisco Chronicle and KQED public radio and will be streamed live on both sponsors’ web sites. C-Span is also televising the forum.

She’s going to create 500 to 1000 to 1,000,000 new jobs. Where did this nightmare dingbat come from. She’s a rambler.

I thought Fiorina would be a wuss in this debate, but she is kicking Boxer’s ASS!

Carly: “summer of recovery has turned into summer of despair”...”stimulus bill has manifestly failed”...”voted six times against a balanced budget amendment”

Fiorina knows her figures specific, Boxer lost that question by a mile.

I thought “Carla” was one of the panel members, but maybe I’m the one that’s mistaken

I think this was planned. The Socialists are hoping she’ll take the bait, and have a “don’t call me Carla” moment.

Just like Babs and the don’t call me Ma’am episode.

Yeah she didn’t slam it I’d give her 7 out of 10. Good points but Boxer is vulnerable on the current budget. All GOP voted against it. GOP was united she needs to take advantage of that. Boxer said she was with Clinton and balanced the budget, then said with Bush they lost $1 Trillion... the reply is simply that Obama created a $1.5 Trillion deficit this year alone! and that is 3 times more than any single year under Bush.

And this Moderator is still a jerk.

The questioners are partisan hacks and the moderator is a partisan hack who is annoying to boot.

I listening and reading comments. Fiorina seems sensible and articulate (if I may use that word). Boxer seems on the defensive.

There is at least a 25 point difference in IQ here. It’s Fiorina vs the Moderator.

Who is this hispanic woman anyway? I didn’t see her affiliation.

This moderator is absolutely in Boxer’s corner.

You don’t spend 8 years at the head of a corporation like HP without being able to debate. Fiorina is a BUSINESS PERSON who knows how to handle tough questions and make budgets and make hard decisions.

Boxer hasn’t worked an honest hour in her life.

This moderator is a real prIck when he keeps going after Carly...

I’ve long believed, despite her Ivy League degree, that she is the dumbest of the Senators

I dont think Babs has an Ivy League degree. I do think she is brighter than Patty Murray.

The moderator, Randy Shandobil, is a local political expert for KTVU which is based in Oakland/SF and he’s a big time lefty.

He’s demanding Fiorina give “Yes or No” answers while allowing Boxer to filibuster and obfuscate.

I’m no big fan of the RINO Fiorina, but anyone would be a 1000% improvement over Barbara “Bouncer” (Remember all those checks she bounced back in the 80’s?)

Boxer has done nothing for California.

Fiorina will try to create positive jobs creation atmosphere in California.

It’s tough being a conservative in the Bay Area. I understand the politics of trying to attract the center, it’s just horrifying watching it be done.
