WaPost: California Senate race a dead heat in GOP poll (Fiorina 44, Boxer 44)
The Washington Post ^

Posted on 10/21/2010 9:05:53 AM PDT by GOPinCa

For months, Senate Republicans have insisted that Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) can be beaten. Now, they have a poll that shows the race as a dead heat.

Boxer and former Hewlett Packard executive Carly Fiorina (R) are knotted at 44 percent in a Tarrance Group poll conducted for the National Republican Senatorial Committee by Dave Sackett between Oct. 17 and 19.

Among independents and those voters who decline to state a party preference -- a major target for both candidates --- Fiorina leads 47 percent to 34 percent. "[Fiorina] needs to improve upon this and get her ballot strength among ticket-splitters up into the mid 50's," writes Sackett in the polling memo, a copy of which was obtained by the Fix.

Hopefully Cali-fornia will put Madam B out on the streets.

One thing I’ve noticed in all of these polls on this race: Boxer NEVER gets above 50% in any of them. Usually that means curtains for the incumbent.

As Stalin once said:

'It's Not the People Who Vote that Count; It's the People Who Count the Votes'

I have no doubt the Democrats will win any election in which the race is 'close'. We will have 'dimpled' chads (evidence of voter fraud in and of itself), we will have 'found voter boxes' that have had no continuous link of responsibility, we will have a surge of absentee ballots that not only exceed the population of voters, but will include Felons and the deceased - but will mysteriously not include the military votes.

Personally, mankind is not an endangered species, and talk about a re-newable resource!! If we made voter faud a capitol offence, and put those who commit this on death row (without the 10 yr waiting period) - we'd have a lot fewer cases of voter fraud; and a lot fewer Democrats in Congress. Hello, Senator Frankin, I'm talking to YOU.

Box-a-rocks is toast. No way she gets to 50 from here.

Pray for California

Boxer is the worst Senator in DC. Seeing her defeated will be a Hallelujah moment.

Considering the source, Boxer is in deep trouble.

The odds are in favor of Boxer. She has the advantage of the coalition of sodomites, blacks, illegal aliens, actors, actresses, nonchristians, felons; plus, massive election fraud. The aforementioned is almost insurmountable by normal electoral means.

Hodar, I am with you.

There are many polls that are “close” right now.
In my mind that means they are wins for the Dems since we have made no effort to squash voter fraud and it is easy to do.

Too bad.
