If I recall correctly, in that election Matt Fong was 10 points ahead of Barbara Boxer until the last week of the campaign. During that last week, the Boxer campaign released info that Fong had donated money to an anti-gay group, and he plummeted in the polls.

It's similar to the tactic that Boxer used against Bruce Hershenson six years earlier. Hershenson was ahead in the polls, and then Boxer released info that Hershenson once went to a strip club. Hershenson lost.

Never mind the fact that Democrat Rep. Loretta Sanchez wanted to hold campaign fundraising events at the Playboy Mansion in 2000, in 1992 a visit to a strip club was enough to undermine a GOP candidate for the Senate.

This is what I mean about Senators only needing to fool the people who don't pay attention once every six years.
