California Senator Barbara Boxer is now the latest Democratic incumbent

[gsvol]

to find herself in a tightening race for reelection.

"US Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) (L) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) (R) join hands with US Representative Hilda Solis (D-CA) (C), President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for Secretary of Labor, before her confirmation hearing with the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, January 9, 2009. Feinstein and Boxer gave testimonials as they formally introduced Solis for her hearing."

The New York Times reports that several high profile and long time staffers to Miss Boxer’s Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW) have resigned since she took over.

Senator Barbara Boxer is in charge of pushing the Cap-and-Trade energy tax scheme through the Senate. She says that Cap-and-Trade will create American jobs and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. She is wrong on both counts.

Their findings: each “green” job created with a government subsidy caused the loss of 2.2 regular jobs; each “green” job cost about $800,000 to create; while 110,000 other jobs were lost due to higher energy costs in metallurgy, mining, and other industries. The net result: some 60 percent of the Eurozone’s newly unemployed are Spaniards. This makes sense: increasing the cost of energy makes any energy-intensive industry less competitive with companies located in lower energy cost areas such as coal-powered China.
-------------------------------

The bottom line: Sen. Barbara Boxer’s Cap-and-Trade energy tax will cost your family up to $2,000 per year, will destroy about 2.4 million American jobs and will actually increase global greenhouse gas emissions.

(the $2,000 is a very conservative estimate, $6,000 would be more likely)gs

I hope you are surprised although the Hewlet-Packard byatch isn't a hell of a big improvement, even if she calls herself republican, but then progress is progress.
