Boxer wins a Pyhhric Victory



Barbara Boxer did have the political scare of her life and fended off a serious challenge from former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Ma'am Boxer could not run on her own achievements and simply made the race about who was the lesser of two evils. A lesser evil is still an evil.
The fact that someone with no previous political experience like Carly Fiorina was even a serious contender shows that Barbara Boxer is still deeply unpopular in California!


(Statistics updated November 9th. Many more absentee ballots to be counted!)
The facts:
-Over 4.2 million voters chose someone OTHER than Boxer.
-Over 48.3% of voters chose someone OTHER than Boxer.
-Barbara Boxer lost in 38 out of 58 counties.
-In four counties that Boxer did "win", she garnered LESS than 50% of the vote.
They were Lake, Sacramento, San Benito, and Santa Barbara Counties.
- 29 California newspapers chose to endorse Fiorina. 
Another 2 including the San Francisco Chronicle did not endorse anyone.
-Overall, 31 newspapers chose NOT to endorse Barbara Boxer.

This election was on who was disliked the most, Carly Fiorina or Barbara Boxer, and on that count Ma'am Boxer did prevail. But she is still very much disliked. This blog will expose her on a regular basis. That is what happens when she chooses to STAY in the spotlight and remain under scrutiny.  Her victory is Pyhhric and hallow!
