If Barbara Boxer can’t make her case to Californians, how can she make the case for California to her colleagues in Congress?
Carly Fiorina’s latest campaign ad has begun to grow on me. When first I saw it, I didn’t think she hit hard enough, but the more I watch it, the more I like it.
Maybe it’s that when Carly addresses us directly, she makes some subtle jabs at her opponent, the 28-year Washington veteran. Barbara Boxer constantly bickers; she persistently plays politics; she doesn’t reach across the aisle; she never opposes her party.
Indeed, Barbara Boxer’s entire ambition to serve in the Senate is to promote her own left-wing agenda. And further own ambition. This one clip says it all:
Barbara Boxer can berate a general for following military protocol, yet she won’t address Californians. In none of her ads, does she, like her Republican rival, directly address us, the voters.
If Barbara Boxer can’t make her case to Californians, how can she make the case for California to her colleagues in Congress?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It is a very effective ad in two ways:
1. Its a good “closer” for the campaign. Not mad or angry, just presenting the alternative to the status quo.
2. In blue California, it is wise for a Republican to pledge a willingness to bend. A lot of liberal-leaning Independents are probably looking for an excuse to vote against Boxer, Fiorina just gave it to them.
As it is, I’ve expected Fiorina to win this thing rather handily come election day for a while now. An incumbent who can’t get above 50% in polling is generally doomed and just more so when its a Democrat in 2010.

Oh, boy… she’s already promising to reach across the aisle (grow in office?).

Daniel,
So am I – liberal friends are convinced that the Democrats are coming back and will do “well” on November 2nd (meaning, I guess, that we just get a “wave” but not a “tsunami”). But, then again, liberals don’t spend a lot of time in the real world…should be a massacre of the Democrats on November 2nd.

[...] fluffy ad, attempting to tell us what she’s done in the Senate. And even in that fluffy ad, she doesn’t talk to us. Seems par for the course with this 28-year veteran of Washington, [...]
