Do Republicans think they can take on Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in 2010? For now at least, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, NRSC chairman John Cornyn is talking up the prospects of potential GOP candidate Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard.

“(Carly) Fiorina…even before she announces her candidacy she is within four points in a Rasmussen poll against Barbara Boxer,” said Cornyn. “Of course Sen. Boxer’s had some YouTube moments lately that I think are sort of raising questions about her liability, even in a place like California.”

California is a state that is big and expensive, leans to the left, and voted for Obama by a 61%-37% margin last year. But hey, there’s something to be said for aiming high.
