Boxer raised nearly one-and-a-half million dollars during the second quarter. In a press release, she called the support “gratifying.” The Democratic senator is seeking a fourth six-year term.

A spokeswoman says Boxer’s conducted prodigious and early fundraising in preparation for a possible challenge from former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. The 54-year-old Republican says she’s “seriously considering” entering the race.

She has little political experience beyond her work as an economic advisor to Senator John McCain during last year’s presidential campaign. But Fiorina has extraordinary wealth that could make her a strong candidate.

A recent Field Poll predicted that Boxer would beat Fiorina in a landslide, but the election is a full year-and-a-half away.

The defeat of Barbara Boxer is a moral imperative. She is in contention for the most obnoxious, arrogant, and ignorant leftists in the U.S. Senate. Think what her defeat in California would signal to the nation.

The only thing Boxer can probably dig up on Fiorina is her performance at Lucent Technologies. Anything is better than Boxer.

[americanophile]

She was fired from HP, but again, anything would be better than Boxer.

[G Larry]

Any contributors asking for a refund after yesterday’s racist perfomance?

[americanophile]

She’s such a disgrace.

[Right Cal Gal]

Carly should get some sound bites.
Oh, and while you’re at it, a few from her House days when she bounced checks and never made good on them might show her Princess Babs approach to life.

Fiorina also has plenty of screw-ups at Hewlett-Packard when she was their CEO,and she’s a RINO instead of a conservative. No more RINOs, ever, win or lose!

[Argus]

California voters are idiots. Boxer will win easily.

[kingpins10]

Yeah, she appears to be another globalist, unfortunately.

Of course we’re talking about the same moron who directed a general to address he as “Senator” because she worked soooo hard for the title. More like hardly worked. Too many politicians have never really worked at a business, large or small, with all the rsposibilities such a job would entail.

It's a shame they both can't lose.

[DustyMoment]

No more RINOs, ever, win or lose!

Don't know that much about Fiorina, but I heartily and fervently concur with your statement!!

[12Gauge687]

Sorry everybody, that should be ‘responsibilities’ not ‘rsposibilities.’

[ErnBatavia]

Babs has got the safest seat in the senate (other than maybe Teddy), so she’ll continue along as designated attack bitch for as long as she likes.

[Deb]

Boxer said that was none of the public’s business.

[Spok]

I’m sending more money to candidates outside of my state this year than ever before.

[Roccus]

Babs has got the safest seat in the senate (other than maybe Teddy)...

BYRD............so long as he draws breath..............and maybe longer.

[Dick Bachert]

The boys on Capitol Hill will really miss her -- but they're the only ones who will.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Where is the FReeper with the picture of the box of rocks??

[Redleg Duke]

So, George Soros is slipping a few under the table to her, eh?
