How does environmentalism play in Indonesia?

[Lunar]

Um, it's weird.  The government uses it as an excuse to steal land from natives, and there's illegal logging and whatnot that I think people dislike.  But the favorite way to dispose of trash is to burn it in the street and littering is hella common

OK, so some failed HP CEO who was basically fired is running. *yawn*

Learn to read, I said in terms of raising money, it will help Republicans. You know, because most CA industries aren't going to support the legislation or Boxer's agenda.

I can read fine sir, chill out.  I was just laughing at the notion that Boxer would be credibly vulnerable if Poizner ran.  Cap-n-trade will help Republican opponents raise money, how how is that a non-negligible thing to mention as far as Republican chances go?  Poizner, Whitman, and Fiorina all have tons of money, and whoever Boxer's opponent will as well.

Ah, so it's just a word that everyone uses and nobody actually means.

Poizner and Whitman have good credentials to back up their candidacies. Fiorina does not. I doubt she cracks 42% against Boxer.

Is there ANY Republican in California who could even make the race remarkably close, as in single digits? Babs will win but I'd be astonished if the GOP can keep it within single digits; that would be remarkable for the state party. How about Nancy Reagan? lol

If Ahnuld ran against her he'd probably lose by single digits, but itd probably be closer to double digits than winning.  And he'd do the best among any GOP challengers,  Boxer is unbeatable in 2010,

Arnold's approval rating is in the toilet.

[SamInTheSouth]

Don't underestimate her. She has lots of money, and remember, this state did elect Arnold Schwarzenegger governor.

Arnold didn't run a company into the ground.

But he did run a state into the ground.

That's OK. Only companies are too big to fail.

Boxer has always been seen as the more vulnerable Senator.  In the past, Republicans would show up in droves to tear each other apart and waste all their money in the primary, then fail to campaign effectively in the general election.

I'm not convinced Boxer could handle a tough campaign, and I think a "generic Republican" with an uncontested primary might come within single digits in 2010.  (I think 2006 and 2008 have been bad years for the GOP, and 2010 will be a bad year for the Democrats.)  I'm not convinced, however, that Fiorina is even as strong as a generic Republican.

I think Boxer will win by more than 4 points...

Nonetheless, this poll is encouraging.

[Brittain33]

Rasmussen:

Boxer 45%, Fiorina 41%

I can see Fiorina scoring 41% in November 2010.

That does seem about right.

I wonder what her ceiling is.  Maybe 44%?

[President Mitt]

If we nominate Fiorina and Whitman, we deserve to be stabbed in the eye.

[cannonia]

If she doesn't start campaigning now to define herself, the Dems will do it for her.  An investigation always helps a politician's image, right?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

If we nominate Fiorina and Whitman, we deserve to be stabbed in the eye.

Well, has GOP any formadible candidate as Arnie is out?

I guess not.
