#2 A political "science" professor at UC Riverside?

Boy, there's a neutral observer.

#3 Maybe Babs can get a job as a community organizer. Of course, she'll insist that we call her Organizador Comunitario.

#4 All wishful thinking. As the election nears, watch Barry permit Boxer to orchestrate a huge Federal bail-out for California. All will be forgiven as federal dollars rain down upon the financially beleagured state. Timing is everything.

#5 DiCamillo says Boxer was damaged in part by the passage by Democrats of the president's massive health care program.

There will be others falling because of the passing of BO's toxic tort.

#6 As the election nears, watch Barry permit Boxer to orchestrate a huge Federal bail-out for California.

Maybe. However, that would PO about 40 other states and their citizens for the election. It's only one Senate seat in a field of 1/3rd of the whole Senate. As the old sarg would say, keep your head down and don't attract fire. Everyone else in the other states would take the opportunity to point out the platinum plated state government of California and decry the whole process another bailout for the rich just like they bailed out Wall Street. Not smart strategic politics at this time.

#8 The larger problem is that The People's Republic of California is the Dems grand socialist experiment, and therefore too big to fail - and it is indeed failing horrifically. I don't see Obama letting that happen on his watch. The other states are going to fume regardless, so why not protect the botox'd one?

#9 With P2K. Ain't enough money in Washington to bail out CA-- the state is well and truly fooked.

A more likely strategem is to rally the latinos, supported by SEIU etc bully boy shock troops. Watch for rapid movement on amnesty legislation from Barry.

#10 Not enough money? You all still have jobs right? Who do you think you're working for? What they can't take from you, they'll just print.

In the end, yes there's not enough real money. The scenario outlined by lex will certainly be deployed, always is. If Obama waits, then he's vulnerable. A November blowout where the Trunks take both House and Senate would most likely doom any bailout. If we've learned anything, it's that Obama & Co will employ every hammer in the sack, consequences be damned.

#11 Amnesty + a smear campaign claiming that Carly or Tom is an anti-latino racist

That isn't going to happen unless BO wants to start another civil war here.

#14 Boxer will just have to hope for a close election. Then ACORN (by whatever name it's now operating under) will steal the election for her.

#17 "As the election nears, watch Barry permit Boxer to orchestrate a huge Federal bail-out for California"

I know Bambi thinks he can just spend our money at will, but a budget amendment would have to be passed for a bailout to happen.

I've no doubt Bambi and Boxcar would try it, but I have a hard time imagining they'd get enough DemoncRats from the other 56 states* to vote for it. And NO Republicans, not even the RINOs.

*Yes, I do know we have only 50 states - but apparently he doesn't. :-(
