"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

New Polls Shows Fiorina and Boxer in a Dead Heat

It would be great on November 2nd to send Barbara Boxer to the Unemployment Line. She has been too liberal for California for years -- actually since she was first elected. California which is one of our most beautiful states needs to be represented by someone with 'Common Sense' which leaves out Boxer. Fiorina has the business background and great ideas to take to the Senate on how to grow our economy.  Fiorina is 180 degrees opposite of Boxer who believes the way to grow the economy is by taxing and spending. Barbara 'Call me Senator' Boxer never met a tax she doesn't like.

Hard to fathom Boxer involved with our military when she shows nothing but disdain for them. For anyone keeping track, the California military bases have closed right and left with the two Democrat Senators Boxer and Feinstein representing California. Many business' in California have closed up shop there and headed to Middle America where there is a better business climate.

We have to believe with the race being in a Dead Heat that Fiorina is going to be gaining in the next two weeks and Boxer is going to go very negative as we have been seeing across the Country.

New Poll Shows Fiorina and Boxer in a Dead Heat Monday, October 18, 2010 @ 10:10 AM

In California, a new Reuters/Ipsos survey shows businesswoman Carly Fiorina in a dead heat with millionaire Senator Barbara Boxer:

Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer's lead over Republican Carly Fiorina among likely voters in California is only one point, 46 percent to 45 percent, down from a four-point advantage early this month. Boxer is a key ally of President Barack Obama, who is to campaign for her and other Democrats next week in California. Fiorina is a former CEO of Hewlett-Packard.
While the Mercury News notes that Boxer’s deflated liberal base “struggling to find a reason” to show up on Election Day:

Anything can happen this election, but the youthful tidal wave that helped sweep Obama into the White House in 2008 may have dried up… there's no question -- many Democrats are struggling to find a reason to vote. "What I'm noticing is that we don't have a candidate on the top of the ticket that's generating a lot of excitement in the electorate," said Mark Baldassare, president of the Public Policy Institute of California. "And we don't have a ballot measure attracting the excitement Proposition 8 did last time around, so turnout will be significantly less that we had in the presidential election."
And Boxer’s extreme agenda is likely to turn off the state’s many independent “swing” voters. Reuters reports:

Three-term Senator Barbara Boxer is "too extreme for California," said Carly Fiorina, the wealthy businesswoman challenging the Democratic incumbent in one of the most liberal U.S. states. "She is an extreme liberal, she is hyper-partisan," Fiorina said Sunday of Boxer, an ally of U.S. President Barack Obama, who is to campaign for her and other Democrats this week in California. Fiorina is a former CEO of Hewlett-Packard. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday showed Boxer leading Fiorina by only 1 point, 46 percent to 45 percent, down from a 4-point advantage early this month. Fiorina told "Fox News Sunday" that swing voters in the California, the most populous U.S. state, would turn the race her way before November 2 midterm elections, in which 37 of 100 Senate seats and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs. "Remember that California has about 25 percent of its electorate that's considered swing voters," said Fiorina, referring to independents who vote across party lines. "These are the people ... that are going to make the difference in this election."
