No politician wins three terms to the U.S. Senate without a strong resume and campaign presence, but it's also clear that Boxer has run under favorable political conditions that bear little resemblance to what she faces this year. Meaning Caliphornia is in a state of collapse, with the entire country not far behind it, with the credit to Senator "Call Me Senator" Boxer and her like-minded colleagues...
One of the Senate's most liberal members Not to mention that, with Joe Biden promoted, she's also the dumbest member of the Senate ...
finds herself battling for a fourth term amid a struggling economy, a general anti-incumbent mood and persistent Republican criticism of government spending. Having pissed away the nation's wealth she's not sure what to do next except blame somebody and try and borrow some more...
Another potential vulnerability for Boxer: Republican challenger Carly Fiorina is her first female challenger in a Senate race, muting a potential advantage in a state where women comprise the majority of the electorate. I'm not convinced of Fiorina's ability to fire people up. The fact that she's female means nothing to me, since I'm not into gender politix. Those who are into it usually prefer their politicians to be more like Boxer.
That's why the race between Boxer and Fiorina is considered a toss-up, even in a state that tilts heavily Democratic in statewide elections. "It's the first time Barbara Boxer has run when she's swimming against the tide instead of with the tide," said Ken Khachigian, a campaign adviser for Fiorina.
Not sure where you're getting that analogy from. Both of those could fit Barbara Boxturtle, but I don't see either one fitting Carly "Demonsheep!" Fiorina very well.

For the first time Ma'am Boxer is swimming against the political tide
In which Harry Reid decides that since it's an election year maybe he's against building a mosque within spitting distance of the site of the WTC. That Obama is genius, sooper-genius I tell you, putting his contradictory statements out there to give cover to guys like Reid ...
