CA-Sen Poll Watch: Carly Fiorina 48% Vs Barbara Boxer 46%
Republican Nominee Carly Fiorina and California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer
The poll is within the margin of error but is the third poll in a row that shows Fiorina leading.The latest poll data in the senate race showed Fiorina with 48% support, compared to Boxer’s 46%.
This was the third CBS 5 tracking poll to show the senate contest within the margin of error, though, in all 3 cases, the Republican challenger Fiorina has been nominally ahead of incumbent Democrat Boxer.
The CBS 5 poll was conducted by SurveyUSA, which interviewed 569 likely California voters on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. The poll’s margin of error is ± 4.2%.
Democrat incumbent U.s. Senator Barbara Boxer continues to be in trouble. Look for her to go “on air” with negative television ads right after Labor Day.

The U.S. Justice Department sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Thursday, saying the Arizona lawman refused for more than a year to turn over records in an investigation into allegations his department discriminates against Hispanics.
The lawsuit calls Arpaio and his office's defiance "unprecedented," and said the federal government has been trying since March 2009 to get officials to comply with its probe of alleged discrimination, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and jail policies that discriminate against people with limited English skills
Arpaio had been given until Aug. 17 to hand over documents the federal government first asked for 15 months ago.

Obama, Holder trying to exact a political pound of flesh. -
Even now, Romer said, mystery persists. "To this day, economists don't fully understand why firms cut production as much as they did or why they cut labor so much more than they normally would." Her defense was that "almost all analysts were surprised by the violent reaction."
That miscalculation, in turn, led to her miscalculation that the stimulus package would be enough to keep the unemployment rate from exceeding 8 percent. Without the policy, she had predicted, unemployment would soar to 9.5 percent. The plan passed, and unemployment went to 10 percent.
+++++++
Woefully incompetent tenure which will sink the Dems this November

Election 2010 Poll Watch: Republicans Hold Wide Lead in Key Voter Turnout Measure
Well, the polls are continuing to predict a historic GOP landslide this November.Two months before this year’s midterm congressional elections, Gallup finds 54% of Republicans, compared with 30% of Democrats, already saying they have given “quite a lot of” or “some” thought to the contests.
The large party gap in “thought” suggests the typical Republican turnout advantage could be larger than usual this year if that gap persists until Election Day. Attention normally spikes as elections approach, and this is likely to occur among Democrats. However, it is unclear whether the Republicans have reached the limit for how much attention they will pay to a midterm election, or whether their attention will rise to perhaps a historic level by November. How this plays out will determine Democrats’ ability to catch up to Republicans on this measure before Election Day, and will in turn determine the size of the Republican turnout advantage.
My observation for California is an unmotivated/demoralized Democratic Party electorate with the GOP working hard at GOTV for the independent vote – which means Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman win.

CA-Sen: The Boxer Vs. Fiorina Debate – It is the Economy, Stupid
Carly Fiorina makes her opening statement in her debate with Barbara Boxer on Sept 1, 2010.Well, this race will boil down to the California economy and it sucks now with very high taxes and even higher unemployment. The Christian Science Monitor gets it.
Neither candidate made any large gaffes or scored a knockout. The proceedings were fast-paced and informative, with both participants articulate and combative, feminine but in charge.
Those are the assessments of top political analysts, voters, and academics across California after the televised one-hour debate Wednesday night between Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) of California and firebrand Republican challenger Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard.
All in all, the debate will mean little since it was NOT widely broadcast, California voters are not focused and most are disinterested in two pols slugging it out on television when there are better programs to watch.
There is spin from both sides that say I won, etc etc. But, the race will come down to California voters’ pocketbook in November. If the economy remains mired in recession/depression mode, Californians will vote out the incumbents.
Plain and simple…….

CA-Sen: Barbara Boxer LOVES Big Government
California U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer at a post debate newser last nightVery apparent since she cannot say when government is too big or spending is too much.
Boxer is a light weight intellectually (actually embarrassing), has done NOTHING during her three terms in the Senate and should be retired and replaced with Carly Fiorina in November.

Day By Day September 2, 2010 – The Last Word
Chris, meeting the fathers of women you fancy can be interesting.I think some enjoyed making me sweat during the introduction and then one physically took me down with a wrist lock when I went to shake his hand – as a joke, of course. Some joke as I still remember it some 45 years later. Funny, I saw the classmate at my 40 year high school reunion last year and she still invokes emotions – despite her father.
If you readers get a chance, pick up a copy of Juliette’s book Tale of the Tigers.
