Barbara Boxer, although widely viewed as vulnerable this year, is raising more money than her GOP challengers and appears to be on a roll. How do you assess her chances in November?
She wipes the street with wild-eyed Chuck DeVore; sends Carly Fiorina back to living on her Golden Kiss-off from HP; and it’s “pick
“Whether you’re Republican or Democrat, can you defend any candidate simply buying the governor’s office? With $59 million of her own money already in, and surely more to come, does the word “obscene” apply to Meg Whitman’s campaign? If not, why not?”
Two words: Free speech.
She wants to live the nightmare of governance that
“An initiative to legalize marijuana has qualified for the November ballot. Aside from whether it passes, will this issue play a major role in this year’s race for governor or Senate?”
Only if Meg Whitman or the Rep Senate candidate is caught smoking it at the Voyeur Club this fall…
No, politicians care a lot
What impact will the health care debate have on California’s elections this year? Is this a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing, or does health care trump all issues in the statewide and legislative races?
Outrage over the healthcare railroading will drive Republicans to the polls and benefit Republicans on the ballot.

“Meg Whitman’s multimillion-dollar media barrage appears to have blown Poizner out of the water, and she is shifting her sights to Jerry Brown. Early polls show a Whitman-Brown showdown in November is a toss-up. Do the polls reflect reality?”

As the campaign season cranks up, the state Republican Party has its convention this weekend. Among Carly, Tom, Chuck, Meg and Steve, who are the potential winners and losers? Are there dark horses out there?
Carly will be the big winner just like she was at the CRA Convention. She is able to articulate the
“Meg Whitman is not releasing her tax returns — at least not yet. Is this an important issue with Legs, or does it get lost in the partisan campaign wars?”
She’s richer than creme brullee. Does it matter exactly how rich?
It will be the gift that keeps on giving.
It is an important issue
“Is this 2002 redux? Are Dems intervening in the GOP gubernatorial primary to back Poizner and whack Whitman? Is this a winner or does it backfire?”
If you’re going to intervene in the other party’s primary, you better do it with more resources than $60,000 in radio ads on rightwing talk shows that plead for
“Carly Fiorina’s ‘demon sheep’ ad seems to have legs — four of them. But will the ad have any affect on the U.S. Senate race?”
No.
No.
Only really stupid stunts like putting former Mayor Frank Jordan in a shower naked with two radio DJs has that result. It was so out of character, it
“Steve Poizner: Shrewd tactician or political oddity? In the long run of the campaign, how will his anti-Whitman allegation play?”
The incident says more about Mike Murphy’s acumen. One of the essential rules of politics: Talk dirty. Write clean.
“Long run”? I’ve already forgotten about it. Looking forward to Round Two of this bout with
