Boxer destroys conservatives every time because she plays the "I'm a moderate - he's a white male right-wing extremist who will TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE!!!!!" card and no one in the media dares to say otherwise. She avoids debates and uses her influence to squash media coverage of her opponents. The only way to beat her is with image - running a younger, telegenic, libertarian-minded, and preferably already famous candidate against her. But the CA GOP doesn't have anyone like that. Carly Fiorina certainly isn't it - you would need to convince some Hollywood figure to do it.
“Carly Fiorina certainly isn’t it - you would need to convince some Hollywood figure to do it.”
How about Clint Eastwood?
You’re partly right. Californians have had an adversity to pro-life, pro-growth conservatives since the early 1990’s. Republicans do need some glamor with their nominee, or at least celebrity.
I don’t know what to think about Carly Fiorina, but she has some celebrity and appears willing to spend her own money.
