It’s because so many people on FR spent so much time demonizing Fiorina as a “Rino” during the primary that they don’t much care about this race. The fact is she has maintained a pro-life, pro 2nd Amendment, pro fiscal sanity stance all during the general election and is hardly a Rino. If this corruption revelation helped a Tea Partier Free Republic would light up like a Christmas tree about it. Plus there’s an element of having no faith the media will do anything about this anyway for it to make a difference, so people are apathetic.
“Fiorina as a Rino”
In researching “boxer,” as a keyword on FR, I see that your point is well taken. Only to look at this thread to prove your point:
Real Clear Politics: CA senate race moved to “toss up”

In this case, my opinion is that the devil we know IS NOT worse than the devil we do not “know.”
In corruption and power, Boxer is the female second only to Pelosi. This scandal has been buried, and it is BOXER who should be buried by this late-breaking scandal.
