The leader in the race to replace retiring U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in America’s most liberal state is… Republican Condoleezza Rice, according to a new Field Poll released Wednesday. Rice, the former Secretary of State and Stanford don, is backed by 49% of voters–ahead of Attorney General Kamala Harris, the liberal Democrat who was the first to declare.
The poll, which sampled 972 likely voters in California, presented respondents with a list of 18 potential candidates and asked if they “would be inclined or not inclined to vote for that person,” with no limit on the number they could support. Rice led among both male and female voters, and did well among Latino voters, though the top choice for Latinos remains former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Rice and Harris each polled 74% among their respective political parties.

This is a surprising poll result for liberal California.
Stay out the Bushes.
I have no problem at all with Dr. Rice being a Senator.
Rice or Harris? That’s a no brainer.
California leadership over the past 60 years has oscillated left and right. Over time, though, both “left” and “right” have gotten lefter and lefter. The trend has been relentless.
That would help break the Dem hold on California, but Rice is no conservative. She would be a moderate at best — with liberal tendencies.
Condo is not exactly a conservative but she would be a vast improvement over Boxer and certainly better than the Camel woman.
True...but, I’ll take Condi over “Yes, ma’am” Babs, or BigLib Harris, any day!
Rice is a popular person, but time and time again she has expressed no interest in running for political office. The job she really wants is NFL Commissioner.
I agree. I would have no problem supporting Rice for Senator in California just like I had no problem supporting Christie as Governor in New Jersey. A moderate or liberal Republican is the best you can hope for in a far left wing Democrat controlled state.
I would not support either for President but that is because we can do much better nationally than a moderate or liberal.
I always thought she was hot. But she’s gay, isn’t she?
“I have no problem at all with Dr. Rice being a Senator.”
I am with you. That is a whole lot better than I thought we might get considering the alternatives(RATS).
Which still makes her 1,000% better than a democrat.
A few light years better.
Is Condoleezza Rice even running?
I got no problem with this.
Rice vs. the Criminal Kamala?
Don’t care if she was the uber-neocon. Elect now.
There is no way for any Republican to win a statewide race in California. Voting in California is like voting in North Korea. The outcome is a forgone conclusion.
I wish Condi luck. She would get my vote if I lived in her district.
I haven’t heard the gay rumor, but I think any older woman who hasn’t ever been married comes under suspicion by some.
No McClintock?
No hope.
