I could add:
- 1992 - California Senate race: Barbara Boxer release news in October that Republican opponent Bruce Herschensohn once attended a stripper club. Boxer wins.
- 1998 - California Senate race: Barbara Boxer releases news in October that Republican opponent Matt Fong (then ahead in the race) once donated campaign funds to an anti-gay group. Boxer won by 10%.
- 2002 - California Governor race: Democrat Gray Davis vs Republican Bill Simon. In August 2002, the California Superior Court finds Simon's company guilty of defrauding business partners in a pay phone company. Simon himself was not named, and the court of appeals later overturned the guilty verdict four years later. However, Davis went on to win the election.

How many of those were actually effective? Difference is regular hardball politics and game changing stuff. A surprise in an off election year will be spread over many candidates - not just one.
