Senator Don’t Call Me Ma’am is in trouble

Maybe, finally, the grating arrogance of Babs Boxer is getting on Californians’ nerves.

Top of the Ticket reports:

For the second straight month the three-term senator is unable to break the 50% mark against any potential Republican opponents, the historical measuring mark of vulnerability for an incumbent nine months before an election.

For a Democrat in a Democrat state that gave Barack Obama 61% of its votes in 2008 (and still likes him more than many other places) to be mired in the mid-40’s is a sign of real trouble. This is especially so given the fact that disgruntled voters gave Democrats control of the House, Senate and White House in 2008, expecting something to….

…happen beyond another congressional payraise. Voters appear to be looking at a the stubborn ineffectiveness of the much-vaunted economic stimulation bill, continued high unemployment and waning Obama approval. It’s not like they don’t know Boxer after all her years in the state’s public life. To help with the warmth of money, Boxer has Al Gore’s headline help fundraising.

Yes, sure, incumbents retain huge powers and money advantages over challengers and it’s a long time until November, when the five-term ex-representative Boxer will turn 70. But nationally, indications are growing that 2010 could be a tidal wave election beyond the usual midterm swing with voters believing in a different kind of change to believe in.

Is it possible they could dump out a Democrat even in California?

Yes, you can!

More and more people are getting away from the 'R' and 'D' labels. That is why Independents are growing. If Boxer is voted out it would be a miracle but then Scott Brown won in MA so anything is possible.

Don't know if it is true but I heard Boxer is rarely even physically in this state.

I pray every day that this poor example of a representative of the people is defeated big time.
