Barbara Boxer in Trouble?

By on 7.24.09 @ 10:46AM

A new Rasmussen poll shows Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) only leading possible Republican challenger Carly Fiorina by four points, 45 percent to 41 percent. In addition to the closeness of the race this early out, Boxer is below 50 percent, which is dangerous for an incumbent.

That said, Boxer has looked vulnerable before and cruised to reelection. (Though often the Republicans have failed to get top-tier challengers for her.) An earlier Rasmussen poll that showed her leading by nine roughly coincided with a Field poll that her crushing Fiorina by 30 points. So we'll have to see more.

She has looked vulnerable before, but was blessed with incompetent opponents. That's how many seemingly vulnerable politicians hang on.

California is an absolute economic disaster. Fiorina may be the single best type of candidate to run as a republican right now out there. Of course, we don't know what kind of candidate she will be. But I think she has the right resume.

Has anyone tried to recruit a car dealer whose business was destroyed by Obama. Nothing motivates a candidate as revenge.

Obama's Miranda Madness

Less than an hour into the interrogation of the Christmas Day "underwear bomber," the U.S. Justice Department instructed FBI agents to advise Abdulmutallab — an al Qaeda operative from Nigeria — of his Miranda rights. Shockingly, interviews since have yielded "no actionable intelligence."

Stop plea bargaining with terrorists!
