Boxer won by 800K votes in 1998. I don't see her losing to Issa, although she will have to work for it.

2. It's very possible in such a draining election year |
|
democrats will be strapped for cash and resourses at a much much bigger margin that 2000 or even 2002, particularly if we have a candidate who can only compete in 4 or 5 red states(I'm talking of course about Kerry, the likely nominee).
Saying "he won't win" shows that you underestimate the dark side. Remember, I know alot of people who thought that we were going to win 4 or 5 more senate seats in 2002.
Issa would go in being the underdog certainly, but people here need to understand how badly these people(the right) are willing to go to grow there power

4. 9/11 screwed up the 2002 cycle |
|
Had 9/11 not happened the 2002 cycle would have been much better for us.
I see Boxer prevailing. Unless she finds herself in a major scandal I don't see her losing.

3. That's probably what will happen |
|
Why else would he drop out of the governor's race?

8. Arnold may do miracles for the Republican's image in California |
|
The effects of a successful campaign by Arnold are hard to predict right now, but it would be hard to see any way in which it will be good for Democrats and not very hard to see scenarios in which it could be disastrous for us.

10. Arnold's about as far from Issa |
|
as Boxer is from Zell Miller.
Issa will never win a fair statewide race. That's why he did the recall rather than run in 2006. Look at Simon vs. Davis. A conservative vs. an absolutely hated governor. Now compare the more conservative Issa against the far more popular Boxer.
He doesn't have a prayer.

9. He doesn't have a prayer going up against Barbara Boxer who |
|
is up for reelection in 2004 and quite honestly he doesn't stand a chance against Feinstein either in 2006.

IS that the RNC could not afford to have the right wing split the vote. Issa was promised something. Senate...Maybe...but My guess is Ambassador to Lebanon and first Dibs on Feinstein.
This election cycle is too early because a) then it does become and issue of advancement rather than principle which would make him teraful comments hypocritical.
Arnold won't win because he is a left winger on social issues.. he aamaxes out at 30% of the vote.. The right wing splits between Simon and Mclintock another 30%
and Cruz cruises in at a solid 40%. This is pretty much a lock as long as Bustamante does not pick any fights. Let Gray be the tiger and tell the world that Arnold is Jesse ventura without political experience or instincts to run the 5th largest economy in the world.
