#1 I believe I may see the day that Boxer gets booted before I leave this state for good. 50-50 at this point. DeVore is a good conservative. Fiorina has weekpoints but plays well to the CA electorate. Campbell is too much the career pol, but knows the landscape. That's how I see it. My bet... Fiorina in the primary. Maybe not my first choice, but my money pick. In CA, that's as good as it gets.

#2 Boxer, who's seeking a fourth term in Washington this fall, "has been there too long,"

Come on Californians, do the rest of the country a great service and vote "NO" for "Call me Senator" Boxer.

#3 Two words: Loretta Sanchez.

It's gonna be an ugly election.

#4 Hate to be so cynical on a Sunday morning, but California's lemmings will put her in again. I've watched it since I moved here in 1973.

#5 Depends on if the big-city blues take enough of an interest in saving her ass. The rest of the state has definitely had enough of the crazed bint.

#6 Dear Associated Press:

For the last time, it was NOT Ted Kennedy's seat, it belonges to the people. He was only placed in it by their will.

( Not that this will do any good, but I feel better)

#7 Campbell is too much the career pol, but knows the landscape.

Is he the one who is rumored to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood or am I thinking of another Campbell?

I despise Boxer, but c'mon...if those rumors are true even Babs...ah, I can't even say it LOL.

#8 Is he the one who is rumored to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood or am I thinking of another Campbell?

You're thinking of the right Campbell, Gomez Threter7450. See here. But he's running as a Republican, so that won't affect the primary, at least. It sounds like your election is going to be a matter of pulling the lever for the lesser of evils. Bottom line, as long as anyone other than Boxer wins, they won't have the seniority to accomplish much in their first term, and can be voted out as necessary before the next one. (Yes, I know the odds aren't good for voting out, but one can hope that justice will eventually prevail.)
