New poll: Now, signs of real vulnerability for California's Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer
l.a. times ^ | 2/15/10 | staff

Posted on 02/15/2010 5:14:59 PM PST by Nachum

So, is California's brittle Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer about to become the next Harry Reid? Which is to say, embattled at home.

As Reid worked the wallets of San Francisco on Presidents' Day to raise money for his endangered seat in Nevada, some stunning new Rasmussen Reports poll out today makes a compelling point:

For the second straight month the three-term senator is unable to break the 50% mark against any potential Republican opponents, the historical measuring mark of vulnerability for an incumbent nine months before an election.

Three folks for whom there isn’t a large enough toilet bowl are Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mikulsi, and Dianne Feinstein. Feel free to add Dick Durbin and Charles Schumer into the water.

Cali is a TV state for its politics and I’ll bet the Yenta from richie rich land of NorCal is real popular with the barrion known as LA. Well maybe with some union hacks and a few racist ethnic hustlers, but otherwise she is a ugly face of the past.

So Campbell will drain away votes from Fiorina and Boxer will slip thru?

If the dems have to seriously defend Boxer’s seat, they will be looking at a historical Senatorial route this year.

The Republicans only need to field some decent candidates.

probably. It’s California. The GOP here is moribund. So we’ll eat our own & Boxer, the dumbest woman in the Senate, will go back to Washington.

Hey, talk about desperate! Last week she was running a raffle for $10 campaign contributions. The “winner” got to have lunch with Babs and Algore. Not sure what they were going to do to the losers.

Actually, I think it's a toss-up between Babs and Patty Murray of Washington State, who once infamously burbled some piffle of colossal idiocy about Osama Bin Laden building day care centers.

Campbell screwed the pooch as soon as he entered the race. Up until that point, the conservative in the race, Chuck DeVore was tied with Fiorina in the GOP primary polling. Then Campbell entered and the GOP folks in Cali heard a recognizable name in Campbell and jumped on his ship. You're right about GOP eating it's own. DeVore is the best candidate in this race.

It’s either going to be Fiorina, Campbell, or DeVore as Boxer’s opponent. The primary is in June.

I don’t see how Campbell can drain away votes from Fiorina and then “Boxer slips through.”

She is Debbie Stabenow (stabusall) Senator from Michigan and your description is only incorrect in that it is an understatement.

Forget the foul language, call Ms. Boxer what she really is, a traitor to her country and an avid hater of the United States Military. California, you folks better get with program, you know you are picture of Greece and, are failing exactly the same way. You can start by destroying the Democrat Party in your home state, beginning with Ms. Barabara Boxer, etc.!!!!

“I support DeVore but will support whoever runs against Bables Boxer”

That is my take also. I really don’t care for Campbell but he would be better than that idiot Boxer.

There is virtually no difference between Boxer, Fiorina & Campbell. About the same as Whitman & Moonbeam. The only conservative in the mix is Chuck DeVore.

You got the MI part right.
Our very own Ms Stab em now.
Still another example of Dems do not require intelligence of their Senators. Just party loyalty.
