Did they let Boxer see the questions in advance? She answered that last question on the Dems being in control for 4 years awfully quickly.
There is practically no doubt that they did. Once you have been in that office for 18 years there are personal connections between the senator's staff and the media that are baked into the system. As a left-wing media person, are you going to potentially torpedo the career of you left-wing Boxer-aide friend who lives a couple of blocks away in another $1.5M home in Noe Valley? No way.
