Boxer is starting to slip in CA......although I fully expect her to win, you never know. This fall could see more "Scott Brown" type wins.


As a conservative, this is a hard question. I'll go with Barbara Boxer losing.

Her telling an Army General in a senate hearing to "Call me Senator Boxer, not ma'am, I worked really hard for this title" really pissed me off.

I'm a devout liberal and I hope all Demos get re-elected.

I'm a centrist and I don't care if any of them get re-elected.

It isn't going to make any difference which set of partisans are in power. We have seen this over and over for most of this nation's history. You are spinning your wheels wishing for this or that candidate to be turned out of office. Policies over time swing back and forth and right now we are entering a more conservative philosophy. In 1964 Barry Goldwater got wiped out by Lyndon Johnson. (admittedly, part of the reason was the recent assassination of JFK), but about 20 years later. here comes very Conservative Ronald Reagan, running on a platform very much like Barry Goldwater's, and he wins by the same margin that Goldwater lost by. Here we are 20 years later and we elect Barack but the Conservative tide is welling up again......and where does it all get us? Check the major policy accomplishments of either side that have been beneficial to the majority of Americans? It's not that easy to come up with very many if any. I think we need to spend less time picking the candidates we most want to see lose and if we are dissatisfied, go out and get some that we think will do better, and work hard for their election. I personally think that we need, in George H W Bush's immortal words, to "stay the course" right now and see how this thing shakes out by 2012. I honestly believe that a lot of this conjecture is out there because there is a fear in some quarters that the current Administration may right the ship by then and get re-elected.

I’m fair and balance …



Reid, Boxer, and Polosi are worthless Liberal individuals who should never be permitted to hold office ….. They are the poster children for “Term Limits”

I'll go with Harry, since he's a sure bet to go down. Despite the recent numbers, Babs is safe. Maybe we'll catch a break and she'll get hit by a bus instead.

The thing is, if Babs Boxer loses, California will just somebody else like her in.

So..... I'll go with Reid.

Boxer- she was more angry at the hackers who uncovered the "climategate" emails than the frauds who were making up/distorting data in the first place.

I don't know- would be great if they both got booted.

Isn't Boxer the one who doesn't stand up when the national anthem is played? I hope they all go.

Dingy Harry going would be great, but California losing a Democrat Senator would be a shot across the bow the likes of which the liberal blogosphere might die from. I could already imagine the type of self destruction that would go on in places like the Daily Kos.
