While most voters have a fixed view of Boxer, whoever emerges from the GOP primary won't be well known to Democratic and decline-to-state voters, who will hold sway in November.
"The opponent is a relatively clean canvas," Sragow said. "Barbara Boxer's job is to paint as unflattering a picture as she can about her opponent as quickly as possible. It is as simple as that."
In 1986, the strategy succeeded. Cranston won by slightly less than 105,000 votes. It had a lasting impact on California politics.
In 2006, Treasurer Phil Angelides emerged from a tough Democratic primary for governor, only to be met by an attack launched by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that continued into the fall.
Schwarzenegger's campaign team included Sacramento strategist Marty Wilson. Now, Wilson is managing Fiorina's campaign. If the polls hold and Fiorina wins the nomination, Wilson has an idea what he will be doing on June 9.

This strategy makes sense since Boxer will have the money – won't work though

Day By Day May 27, 2010 – A Gore Dump
Day By Day by Chris MuirPresident Obama’s handling of the BP Oil crisis in the Gulf has been abysmal.The oil spill off the Gulf Coast is staining more than Louisiana’s beaches.
The response to the disaster by energy giant BP, President Obama and the federal government all get terrible grades from Americans in a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll.
Nearly three-fourths of those surveyed Monday and Tuesday say BP is doing a “poor” or “very poor” job in handling the calamity. Six of 10 say that of the federal government. And a 53% majority give Obama a poor rating.
The emperor has no clothes and the pundits are now comparing the federal government’s response to that of President Bush – OUCH!
No, Chris, sticking Al Gore in the blow out hole will NOT help. I beleive the plug must have something SOLID and not SQUISHY.
