Barbara Boxer to run for re-election in 2010

I hope Arnold runs. This scum needs to be sent packing.

This will be an easy hold.

I hope Arnold runs. This scum needs to be sent packing.

You really believe that Arnold would defeat her, don't you?

I don't understand the right-wing hatred for Boxer- she doesn't even support gay marriage, and she's been a fervent advocate of "anti-terror" measures like the PATRIOT Act. 

Two issues that she is closer to us so we have to tolerate her? The woman is militant with abortion. That alone makes up for whatever "conservative" views you think she has.

I think Arnold would have a good shot at beating her.

[Keystone Phil]

It is certainly very very very unfortunate that she supported the awful Patriot Act. She seems like a pretty intelligent person.

Does anyone know who voted against it?
(I think Feingold did, and I would think Kucinich also, anyone else?)

I believe that Feingold was the only person in the Senate to vote against it, and Landrieu did not vote at all.

Didn't Paul Wellstone also oppose it?

No Arnold is not popular. He just lucked out getting an opponent with the charisma of a flat tire.

That must also explain why Casey never got to the Senate.

Casey was only that bad of a candidate in the eyes of die-hard extreme Casey haters like yourself and Walter.

Every political analyst's commentary points out that Casey is a bad campaigner and is seen as lacking charisma (probably more so than Angelides).

And that's a reason why Angelides was a bad campaigner and lacked charisma/personality?
