Boxer shaky again as campaign looms
Dan Walters Aug. 10, 2009
California's U.S. senators tend to fall into two categories – headline-grabbers and dependable workhorses for the state's interests.
For the past 17 years, the state's two senators have been Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer. Both elected during the much-heralded "year of the woman," they have followed the state's time-honored pattern.
Boxer draws media attention with her quixotic political forays, often involving some left-of-center cause having nothing to do with California, while Feinstein is the go-to person for the state's economic and political interests.
It explains why voter polls consistently find that Feinstein is among the state's highest-rated political figures while Boxer's popularity swings with the tides and rarely reaches beyond the magic 50 percent level.
Every six years, Republicans believe that with just the right candidate and just the right amount of money, they can knock off the woman they love to hate. And they are heartened again by a new poll showing Boxer barely leading the most likely 2010 challenger, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.
The Rasmussen Reports poll found that 45 percent of California voters support Boxer's re-election, with Fiorina at 41 percent and 7 percent undecided, much closer than a March poll.

Arrogant Elitist BABS Boxer has provided some great YouTube videos to use against her come election time.
But Republicans would never stoop so low and get their hands dirty enough to use them. They still think they’re sitting around the old Round Table discussing the virtue of chivalry while the Democrats have adopted the guerrilla fighting tactics of the Marxists they pattern themselves after.
Boxer is hands down the dumbest individual in the Senate.
Dumb as a box of rocks.
Boxer is a Grade A moron.
The people of California are not in a charitable mood regarding money or politicians these days. Feinstein and her arrogant twin, Boxer, won’t be looked upon with favor in CA during these disastrous economic times. When calling their offices regarding any issue, the staffers that answer the telephones are as arrogant as these two Elitists. Time to send them packing.
I’m not a fan of Fiorina but I will take the lesser of two evils, ANYTHING to kick Boxer’s ass out of the Senate
She’s arrogant and all around nasty. I find her detestable.
Therefore she would seem to be the ideal Senator for what CA has turned into.
I find her inspiring. If an incompetent dunce like that can be elected, anyone can aspire to be a senator...or president.
Feinstein will get re-elected. She’s considerably smarter than Boxer and not as intent on committing political suicide....
You mean as dumb as VP Biden—but without the charm?
She won’t get re-elected if a savvy person runs against her and digs out her dirt and exposes it. GOP has no spine, guts, nor gonads when taking on the enemies of America.
Boxer your time is short.
Ahead of Debbie Stabenow and Patty Murray? That's a hard sell, folks. A hard sell.
I really hope Kaleefornia gets rid of that stink pot.
Pelosi gets an A++++ in the dumb and reprehensible category.
I always liked Carly whenever I saw her on tv on those sunday talk shows during the campaign. I hope she wins. Might even send her a few bucks.
“...sitting around the old Round Table discussing the virtue of chivalry while the Democrats have adopted the guerrilla fighting tactics of the Marxists...”
And Chicago-style thuggery got BO into the White House, so obviously the Marquess of Queensberry rules of the GOP didn’t succeed against the submission grappling of the Rats.
