HA! With luck (and if CA voters finally get smart enough), Barbara Boxer's days as a United States 'Senator' are hopefully over come this November ... obnoxious, contentious, imperious .... and those are her GOOD qualities. I'm pulling for Carly Fiorina (you know, from HP) ... she's abrasive, but she's also SMART - that's something Boxer can't claim. She does, however, have the market on 'smarmy', 'obsequious', and 'haughty' cornered ... Now all we gotta do is wait 'n see how many voters in CA have two or more neurons capable of firing sequentially ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/07/la-times-declines-endorse-boxer-senate-primary/ Updated May 07, 2010 L.A. Times Declines to Endorse Sen. Boxer in California Primary FOXNews.com The editors at the biggest newspaper on the West Coast, who were expected to endorse Sen. Barbara Boxer in her primary campaign against token opposition, have decided to remain neutral, saying the California Democrat doesn't display enough intellectual firepower. The left-leaning Los Angeles Times on Friday declined to offer endorsements in all Democratic and Republican primaries for governor and Senate, saying the races have been undermined by politics and money. But the newspaper's decision to sit on the sidelines for the Boxer race could prove to be the most damaging of all, given the newspaper's criticism of the three-term senator. "On the Democratic side, we find that we're no fans of incumbent Barbara Boxer," the newspaper said in an editorial Friday. "She displays less intellectual firepower or leadership than she could." The newspaper said Boxer's opponent, Robert "Mickey" Kaus, was not a "realistic contender," but it praised him for asking "pertinent questions about Boxer's 'lockstep liberalism' on labor, immigration and other matters." "But we can't endorse him, because he gives no indication that he would step up to the job and away from his Democratic-gadfly persona," the newspaper said. Boxer is facing her toughest re-election bid this year as she seeks a fourth term. Californians face a double-digit unemployment rate, making many once-untouchable incumbents, like Boxer, vulnerable in November. Polls have shown Boxer running about even with the three Republicans -- state Assemblyman and Tea Party favorite Chuck DeVore, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and former Rep. Tom Campbell -- who are competing for the GOP nomination in the state's June 8 primary. Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin surprised Tea Party-goers on Thursday by backing Fiorina over DeVore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REMEMBER THIS EXCHANGE ... ? It just makes her more self-important and more 'beloved' ... http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/06/17/please-call-me-senator/ At a sometimes contentious Capitol Hill hearing Tuesday, Senate Environment and Public Works Committee chairwoman, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), had a request for Army Corps of Engineers division leader, Brigadier General Michael Walsh. During a terse exchange, as Boxer pressed Walsh on why the levees in New Orleans are still not repaired nearly four years after Hurricane Katrina, she said to Walsh: "Could you say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am? It's just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. I'd appreciate it." The general's response? "Yes, Senator." |

Boxer and Reid are both done, and I think those are seats the Democrats are even expecting to lose when they say they expect to lose a few.
Now all's we have to do is get Fienstein and Pelosi out. |
