CA-Sen: Why Senator Barbara Boxer Will Lose to Carly Fiorina

Question asked of Senator Barbara Boxer at the September 1, 2010 debate

This pretty much sums it up.

Boxer will lose, not because Fiorina is an impressive candidate (although she certainly is), but because voters — even in liberal California — have grown disaffected with ideological, partisan insiders with minimal accomplishments to their name. With the Golden State’s economy in full meltdown mode, angry Californians are looking for scapegoats, and the incumbent senator fits the description.

Indeed, California voters have tired of Barbara Boxer’s shtick.
