I've always felt Boxer and Brown will win. The Chron non-endorsement disappoints me.
One wonders what is so important about running a state that somebody will spend 100M+ out of pocket. What is the gain for this investment? Not just power and title and ego. What is the gain for Whitman?

In '04, nobody got more votes in one state than Boxer; she got more than either Kerry or Bush did here.


When I have seen Boxer in action, she doesn't come off well........a prima donna. However, I have no idea if she's a good senator and good for CA. So I leave it to you. However, like you, a non endorsement by the SF Chron was a surprise to me.

I think Brown will make a good governor.....much better than elitist Whitman, and he might get some control over the Dems in the legislature since he has a long established CA name.

I just hope what seems to be happening in CA...the Dems coming home....is the beginning of a trend for the rest of the country.

(Boxer getting more votes etc.)

Keeping in mind that California is the most populous state of course.

You know when Boxer was a Marin County supervisor she & I shared the same Dentist (Do you want my autograph?).

What do you think of Whitman's statement that she's not beholding to anyone because of her 100 million dollar investment in herself?
