Barbara Boxer vs Caryl Florina??

[Getsome22]

anyone know anything about these 2 California senate seat runners?

Fiorina +120
Boxer -150

and Nevada runners:

Harry Reid -160
Sharron Angle +130

Was thinking betting on politics might be an easy one to win.

**Meant Fiorina

p.s.- im not addicted to betting. just thought this would be money

[Hotdiggity11]

Take Boxer. Lay off Reid/Angle, it could go either way.

[andywend]

I agree with Hotdiggity here.

As bad as Boxer is and how desperately California needs someone like Carly, betting on republicans in California is a long-term losing way to go.

Carly doesn't have the star power of an Arnold and California continues to get more and more liberal with each passing election with undesireables becoming a larger and larger part of her population.

Eh, I wouldn't say that. California will have another Republican governor. Doesn't hurt to have a shit ton of money to spend on elections though.

[andywend]

The governorship is a really strange thing as many ultra-liberal states have republican governors. I can't explain the reason for it.

Dianne Feinstein is a far better senator than Barbara Boxer and the fact that Boxer is in a real horse-race to keep her job is all the evidence you need as to how bad she really is.

I would LOVE to see Boxer and Reid lose their jobs as they are 2 of the worst senators in the country.

Take Boxer. Lay off Reid/Angle, it could go either way.

dirty harry has too many mod reps in his corner. it should be close but he will win this imo.

[Chuck Sims]

Take Angle. Its a great bet. Reid is mud around here. Undecided voters always break for the challenger and against the career politician.

[Andy117]

Undecided voters always break for the challenger and against the career politician.

Really? Not with our country's rate of electing incumbents.

always break for the challenger...lol.....sharon coyote ugly whack job? omfg it aint gonna happen.

[andywend]

golfrulz,
I only wish the Reid/Angle race was decided on looks as Harry Reid is one repulsive looking man.

He is an old crotchety evil human being.

[agharah1]

Boxer is a can't miss pick. America's most liberal senator in a deep blue state where Obama is still popular and there is no enthusiasm gap. Fiorina is neurotic to the extreme. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I were the Hewlett and Packard families watching that woman run HP in to the ground over and over again. Its no wonder HP's stock jumped more than 10% the day they canned her. And then she plays the gender discrimination card. What a disgrace.

[RibbedTrojan]

Take Angle. The odds will favor her in October.

[BigdaddyQH]

Don't sell Fiorina short. She was further behind in the GOP primary at this stage of the game than she is now. Boxer is spending millions on T.V. ads in California at this early date. Fiorina is just waiting to pull the trigger on her, in October, just like she did against her primary competition. She has a very effective campaign manager. I still think Boxer wins a very close race, but I sure would not wager on her. Being a Republican in California, and involved in both the Whitman and Fiorina Campaigns, I can tell you that Carly has some big surprises instore for the Ultra Liberal Ms. Boxer.

The Governors race is rather funny. Lifetime Democrat Jerry Brown is now trying to disassociate himself with the party. He is trying to "out conservative" Meg Whitman. He blames big government in Sacramento for the States woes. What is really two faced is the fact that he is the Attorney General of California, and his office spends millions of taxpayers dollars to try and fine big companies in the State. He has done more to drive businesses out of California than any one single person in the State. Now he is campaigning like a Reagan Republican. He wants to return the power back to the local governments, cut spending, force the State to live within it's means, and promises not to raise taxes unless the voters vote for a tax hike. How much more Conservative and Republican can you sound like, and still be a Democrat?

[agharah1]

Early date? The Republicans have been campaigning for 2010 since Obama's Inauguration!

Fiorina is the poster child for failed CEOs entirely undeserving of her millions. Its true that Boxer is one of my favorite Senators, but I just can't stand the idea of that ultra-failure Fiorina being rewarded with such a powerful position.

In any case, Prop 19 will give enough young liberals reason to turn out. This race won't be close.

.... how desperately California needs someone like Carly....

You manifestly do not live here.

[BigdaddyQH]

Barbara Boxer is a LIberal who is going to be defeated in November in the mos stupid State in the Nation. She MUST defend Obama, and Obama is now undefendable. He has admitted that he put a withdeawl date on Afghanistan for political reasons only. He doens not want to lose the Democratic Party. He has also made stupid statements like America could withstand another 911 type hit. This man is obviously mentally impared, and she must defend him. We will force her to defend him, the economy, and her voting record. Liberals like yourself are fools. YOu must use the legalization of pot to get voters out. Prop 19 will lose. Boxer will lose. Then we will systimatically get rid of the fools that call themselves Liberals.

[agharah1]

1. The enthusiasm gap is largely driven by Obama's unpopularity among midwestern whites.
2. There is no enthusiasm gap in California because Obama is still popular there. We're talking about a state where even Republicans admit the need for cap and trade.

Bigdaddy, you gotta relax. Take some of those SBR Points and buy yourself an ice cream.

[Andy117]

He has also made stupid statements like America could withstand another 911 type hit.

So we couldn't take that kind of hit? Really? What do you think would happen if a comparable event occurred?

You know that if he said that we couldn't withstand a 911 type event that you'd be all over him for showing weakness to our enemies.

[nasaki]

Hey BigPussyQH aka: Andywad you anti-america scum. You'd rather the U.S. not withstand against terror attacks? Do you know the definition of "withstand". Here let Merriam dictionary break it down for you:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/withstand

Definition of WITHSTAND

1

a : to stand up against : oppose with firm determination;especially : to resist successfully
b : to be proof against : resist the effect of <withstand the impact of a landing — Current Biography>

2

archaic : to stop or obstruct the course of

Examples of WITHSTAND

• cookware that can withstand high temperatures
• I couldn't withstand the rigors of army life.
• The U.S. withstood attacks from Al Qaida.

[Hotdiggity11]

Sounds motivating to me, saying we don't want another 9/11 but have the ability to withstand both mentally and infra structurally. Combine that with the fact that Obama has a better track record on domestic terrorism than Bush or Clinton did and I LOL at this new talking point being thrown around.

[BigdaddyQH]

You Liberals are getting desperate now. Whether the U.S. could withstand another 911 type hit is not the point. The point is that the moron in the White House just invited every terrorist group in the world to test his theory. Instead of promising retailiation and total inilation of any terrorist group attempting such an act, he makes that statement. Very very weak, bu we all know that Obama is an Islamic sympathizer. He many not be a member of the Islamic faith, but he sure sympathizes with them.

The lack of any type of Political knowledge displayed by most Liberals in here is really pathetic. You guys cannot defend Obama and the Liberals, so you blame Bush, Republicans, Tea Party members, and anyone else you can think of for the sorry state this nation finds itself in. The obvious fact that the majority of Americans disagree with you does not register at all, does it? You are like the druggies I used to arrest and throw in the slammer. They could not walk 5 feet without falling on their faces, but they swear that they were not under the influence of drugs. Pathetic. In less than two months, when the Democrats suffer huge losses at the polls, I want each and every one of you people to march your tails back in here and explain what happened.

Huh? INVITED them? Inviting them is saying "Bring it on." Noting that it will not break the will and power of America is a common sense analysis.


Explain what happened? What happened is what happens during pretty much every mid-term election with very few exceptions where a president suffers losses from his own party in Congress. 2006? 1994? 1982? 1990?

[agharah1]

BDQH, America's very existence, or at least our presence in the Middle East, is a constant "bring it on" to any terrorist group out there. There's only one reason and one reason only we have not been attacked since 9/11/01: because they *can't* attack us. They haven't the means, the opportunity, or even the personnel to pull off another attack, of any scale.

Two dudes, Richard Reid, and the Nigerian guy. Both tried to blow up planes with plastique in their clothing. Both were caught trying to use lighters. Apparently, both were oblivious to the fact that you need an electric current to detonate plastique. If THAT is the closest anyone has come to attacking anything remotely attached to this country, I'd say that's a job well done.

As for people who are drunk as hell swearing they're not drunk, its probably because the first thing alcohol does to your system is it makes you think you're not drunk.

[andywend]

You manifestly do not live here.

I lived in Southern California for 36 years and California DESPERATELY needs leaders who are willing to show at least some sense of fiscal sanity. Barbara Boxer clearly does not qualify.

Kiln, aren't you the one who made that SBR point loan to that JerseyLove guy even though you were told by many others he is a complete and total stiff. You ignored their advice and told them you know what you're doing and you wound up getting stiffed as well.

I initially felt bad for you but now that I find out you clearly lean towards the left so I don't feel bad anymore. WAY TO GO JERSEYLOVE!!!

Agharah, you're so blinded by your left-wing bias that your predictions carry no weight whatsoever.

By the way, when it comes to success vs failure, you haven't succeeded enough to the point where you even deserve to shine Fiorina's shoes. She's an absolute winner and you wouldn't be able to match her successes if you lived 100 lifetimes.

ChuckSims, I remember you giving me a few points a while back so I thought I would return the favor.

[andywend]

Nasaki, why do you continuously imply that BigDaddy and myself are one and the same?

Are you so stupid that you can't even see the difference in our writing styles?

You should consider any question starting with "are you so stupid" as rhetorical.

[kiln]

I initially felt bad for you but now that I find out you clearly lean towards the left so I don't feel bad anymore.

You've confirmed almost every negative stereotype thinking people have of right wing reactionaries.

[Data]

I must tell that being a techie I have always been hating on Fiorina as she is an extreme example of Peter Principle. She is BA in Architecture. Boy, was I pissed when she became a CEO of HP? Was I glad when she was fired? Was I pissed when she got her golden parachute?

Fukc, this shit is truly depressing, the commies are the ultimate evil but answering them with Palin, O'Donnel, and Fiorina is pathetic. I am truly astonished that the country that seems so great (yes, in decline but still great, or is it?) has this much despicable leadership. Or, is it leadershEEp? (hi, Willie Bee)

I mean, again? Like 8 years of "cute but stupid" in the office was not enough. Lets get try and get more of them elected. Fukc, I just got myself worked up.

[andywend]

The ONLY group of thinking people on the face of the Earth are right-wing reactionaries.

Those that CAN'T THINK are the ones that so strongly support the "transfer of wealth" policies of the left-wing and that obviously includes you.

Ever get those points back from JerseyLove? According to your beloved Barack Obama and the democratic party, JerseyLove is the VICTIM and you are the mean "fat-cat" who tricked him into accepting the point loan in the first place.

Perhaps JerseyLove needs to hire a trial lawyer and file a lawsuit against you for malicious collection of a debt. Remember this is what your so called "thinking" group of left-wing morons actually believe.

[Carseller4]

Boxer has to go. Demanding a Military General to call her "Senator" instead of "Mam" was the last straw.

...and a proven losing proposition. It seems I might have had a point here.

[Hotdiggity11]

Take Boxer. Lay off Reid/Angle, it could go either way.
