However, that doesn't mean that it will be a likely scenario even if we do run one. Despite her far left views, she is an incumbent with the advantages that come with it. Unless her opponent is extremely well funded, already well known and popular, and more politically mainstream (moderate) than she is, the candidate will have a severe uphill fight to take her seat.CaliforniaGrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425094482755235559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35092125.post-34903407049210614962006-11-25T22:20:00.000-08:002006-11-25T22:20:00.000-08:00Well, there's a pretty easy way to test whether yo...Well, there's a pretty easy way to test whether you or shane are correct: <br />Senator Boxer is, in my opinion, the luckiest politician in the state (and maybe the nation). Because each time she runs, the Republicans managed to nominate someone even further out of the mainstream than she is (albeit to the right, rather than the left) to run against her. I think (and apparently you might agree) that if we ever field a moderate against her, she'll be history. <br /><br />So if we can just get someone like that thru the primary next time, we'll have the answer. Here's hoping . . . but not, unfortunately, expecting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35092125.post-39236019149136269772006-11-19T18:15:00.000-08:002006-11-19T18:15:00.000-08:00Well said but there's a strong negative impression...Well said but there's a strong negative impression amongst most Californians regarding the Republican party. It's difficult for many to pull the lever for a Republican because your party has made itself so odious. That is a difficulty you and your fellow Republicans are going to have to work to overcome. Until this is done I can't see California ever voting for a Republican candidate for president, and until California hands its 55 electoral votes to a Republican I'd maintain that our state is a deep blue state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35092125.post-79453479627166090332006-11-17T13:21:00.000-08:002006-11-17T13:21:00.000-08:00Well put.
