By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

Barbara Boxer, the scrappy junior senator from California, is up for re-election to a fourth term in 2010, and she's taking pains to scare off a circling foe by raising lots of money. The potential challenger: former Hewlett-Packard boss and 2008 John McCain adviser Carly Fiorina, who's recovering from a bout with cancer. Boxer's not waiting. She's sent donors at least seven fundraising warnings about the likely Fiorina challenge.

Check out our gallery of Whispers political caricatures and gallery of political cartoons.

lot about you

Boxer Novel

How did Ms. Boxer find a publisher for her latest work of "literary genius" ??? Embarassing Drivel. Go Carly!!!

Barbara Boxer

Barbara Boxer is a check kiting low life that should have never been elected. She stole the election from Bruce Herschonson leaking some unsubstantiated rumors about adult videos, that after the election were determined to be FALSE. She lies, and steals, and she wants this country to be a socialist paradise.

I am going to send as much money to Carly Fiorina as I legally can. ANYTHING to defeat this liar!
