CA-Sen: The Boxer Vs. Fiorina Debate – It is the Economy, Stupid

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…….
