The story of the last two weeks has been a ‘settling’ in a number of Senate contests around the country. Patty Murray’s race in Washington, which seemed really tight, suddenly isn’t. While Russ Feingold, who looked like he had a challenging race, now looks like he’s seriously behind. This is not surprising since it’s only post-Labor Day when the bulk of the electorate really tunes into the campaigns. So it’s only then that you have a true picture of where each race really stands.
The picture isn’t that stark in California. Barbara Boxer looks like she’s regaining her lead, albeit by a still fairly narrow margin. But the trend is clear. And in response, Carly Fiorina has just released this positively slashing new ad.
