CA-Sen: Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina Debate Today on Radio

This little noticed or broadcast debate between Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer and her challenger Republican Carly Fiorina will happen at 1 PM today.

As they head into what could be their final debate, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer and her Republican challenger, Carly Fiorina, are appealing to voters on parallel tracks, each chipping away at the other’s character on the airwaves and each trying to persuade voters that she has a superior approach to turning the economy around.

The two candidates are to face off Wednesday at 1 p.m. in an hour-long radio debate on “The Patt Morrison Show” on KPCC-FM (89.3) and on other public radio stations around the state. The candidates will be separated by 3,000 miles: Boxer will join the forum from the studios of National Public Radio in Washington, while Fiorina will participate from the KPCC studios in Pasadena.

Boxer will dodge any further debates since this race is close and she would rather put up paid, partisan ads on California television.

Carly Fiorina is a much better public speaker and more appealing on
television so why give her any opportunity to score political points?

Why would Boxer take any chances, right?

So, today’s debate exercise in which Boxer will not even be present (playing defense from Washington D.C.) will be the last time these two candidates will square off except on paid media.

What a waste of time.
