Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer and her Republican opponent Carly Fiorina will square off Wednesday night in the only debate scheduled so far in a race that polls show is a toss up between the two women.

The hour-long event at St. Mary’s College in Moraga begins at 7 p.m. It will be televised on CBS affiliates up and down the state, including on KTTV in Los Angeles. The debate is being sponsored by the San Francisco Chronicle and KQED public radio and will be streamed live on both sponsors’ web sites. C-Span is also televising the forum.

Witch.

[KJC1]

Thanks so much for the heads-up! Been so busy I would have missed it.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

CATFIGHT!!!

YAWRRRRRR!

[SamAdams76]

Here is Boxer's transportation to the debate...

[keepitreal]

Hope Ms. Fiorina calls Boxer “Ma’am” all evening.

[americanophile]

;)

Boxer regularly challenges Patty Murray for the title of the most stupid person in the Senate, so I'm sure Carly will eat her up. Boxer will try to fillibuster.

[skeeter]

Boxer will make a fool of herself.

But by the time morning papers are delivered people will believe she's a genius.

[americanophile]

haha

[americanophile]

But she’s worked so hard to earn her title...

[HapaxLegamenon]

C-span streaming here

[musicman]

[americanophile]

Yes, and it’s on C-Span tv as well.

“Please don't call me Witch, call me Senator, I've worked very hard for that title.”

[callthemlikeyouseethem]

I’m watching it on C-Span tv. Thanks for the reminder...:)

[South40]

Boxer gags me. That is one ugly woman.

[americanophile]

Nice press representatives - 3 liberals.

[KJC1]

Carly’s opening...so far so good!

[A. Morgan]

Boxer, you delusional witch!

[Gene Eric]

>> Carly’s opening...so far so good!

Indeed.

Boxer: “For the children...”

[KJC1]

Boxer looks rattled, keeps looking at her notes.

[Gene Eric]

Boxer regarding govt pink slips: “for the children”.

[GRRRRR]

...we have to do it for the children..

Boxer moving her voice into the ‘we care so much’ whisper...

Lying Skankho

[unkus]

Boxer is denying her record on Iraq. -itch.

[Gene Eric]

Fiorina is definitely prepared.

[KJC1]

Carly just said she does not support amnesty and we must secure the borders. She’s doing well.

[TomasUSMC]

Boxer is nervous, not looking good

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yeah, it’s on KTVU, the Fox affiliate if you are in San Fran Nan’s district.

[GunsAndBibles]

Question for Fiorina: Do you support breaking up families and sending illegals back?

Question for Boxer: Do you like puppies and why?

[exist]

Boxer is losing.

[Gunder]

Boxer’s doing fine, but she certainly doesn’t come across as a multi-term U.S. Senator.

[KJC1]

Boxer said something like of course she supports the military because her husband was in the military. Sounded a lot like, “I’m not racist, I have black friends.” LOL.

[Domandred]

LOL and as if on que to your post

"why don't you let other people try?"

What the hell kind of question is that?

[ScoopAmma]

Could I edit your text? Boxer is a loser.

[aquila48]

“Nice press representatives - 3 liberals.”

The Chronicle, NPR, and a spanish language newspaper.

Don’t the republicans get a say so as to who gets to ask questions?? Or don’t they have the balls to stand up for their own interests!!

[Gunder]

Why were so many Freepers against Fiorina during the primary? She’s hitting all the right notes tonight.

[BigSkyFreeper]

She’s sure not nervous about tying herself to The Rookie.

[PaleoBob]

When is the last time a person like Boxer made a statement in public that was not an inane political lie? It’s the fact that people will watch her tonight AND THEN vote FOR her that is what REALLY MATTERS.

[GunsAndBibles]

Boxer is fomenting class warfare again, ie. evil rich people.

[Jrabbit]

Boxer is Dustin Hoffman in drag...

[TomasUSMC]

Any job can go anywhere, dumb dumb dumb

[Gunder]

Wish Fiorina wouldn’t refer to Boxer as “she.” I know Freepers give Boxer grief (deservedly) over the “Call me Senator” comment, but she HAS earned the title.

[struggle]

Fiorina is kicking Boxer’s ASS!

[GRRRRR]

Ooooh, NASTY blind sided question from HP ex-employee...
Wonder why Carly didn’t get a nice easy question from Tim Tam??

I hate the leftard media...

[sissyjane]

ok?

[jiggyboy]

An ex-HP employee is calling her out on her mass outsourcing of jobs. That’s her Achilles heel IMO. Her solution is a 2-year “payroll tax holiday” for new hires. I dunno if I agree that fiddling with the tax code is always the answer.

[TomasUSMC]

Lets do it like the Chinese, just like the chinese, dumb dumb dumb

[Carry_Okie]

The RINOcrat Party has done it again.

[GunsAndBibles]

This isn’t a debate, it’s a attack piece. I haven’t heard one tough question for Boxer yet?
