Don't call her ma'am, call her senator — for another Senate term.
NBC News projects that incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has hung on to her job after facing a challenge from former HP CEO Carly Fiorina.
The governors race in the California is still too early to call.

I just don't understand why people can't just worry about the people who represent them, their governor, their congressman/woman, their senator..... if you don't live in California then just keep your comments to yourself it really is none of your business, it is what the people themselves in California want and what we got is what we deserve. You had nothing to say in their election so as they say if you didn't vote (for them) don't complain afterwards. Look at your own state/county/city and praise your wins, put down your losses but stay out of other states' political actions..........
Dennis, if that were only true. As someone not from California I'm effected by the way California Reps vote all the time. The Governor, not so much. Unless California, like New York, starts going broke due to irresponsible spending and they turn to the Fed for a bail-out. Then My taxes have to cover Californias bad habits. So Dennis, yeah, it is a concern to me that Californians can't seem to learn from their unfortunate mistakes.
BOXER, Brown, Polesi, Feinstein and the "la-la land California voters will guarantee California's certain demise!
You are correct about that
Wonder how many days in office they will go before begging the rest of the country to "bail" them out of bankruptcy???
What a complete waste. Boxer is part of the TRIANGLE of WASTE along with Polosi and Feinstein. They have create an America that has made more people dependent on Government and have ruined the worlds best economy. While we lucky that the Republicans won the House. It won't be over until we have the Sen. back and the White House back. We have got to get these types of radical liberals out of our lives. Like the earlier writer said - I PITY all the fools that voted for this witch. Also, she is a Ma'am, always will be a Ma'am. She has not earned the right to be called Sen. nor has she earned the right for respect.
JKSD.
One earns the right to be called Senator by being elected Senator. That is pretty basic
that is very real
what do you think she would do this term
that is real and true
Well, I guess we can conclude that Fiorina didn't have a "God-given" right to that job.
Regards, The Old Prospector
you are right about that
Fiorina - showing about as much class as she did when she outsourced all those jobs at HP, sitll hasn't conceded. You lost, Carly! Get over it!!
Now see, this is why I could never live in California. Californians never learn. The State is totally broke. State employees have to take days off without pay. the schools are overcrowded and broke. You could just go on and on about Californias problems. Yet, Californians get a chance to correct their situation and they re-elect Jerry Brown again. lol. Common. This is the same guy who was driving when California was going bankrupt before Arnold took over. Then you throw Pelosi and Boxer back at America when they obviously can't even tie their own shoes, much less be effective Senators. LEARN SOMETHING FROM YOUR PAST MISTAKES CALIFORNIA!!!! You can't fix what is broke by throwing money at it.

Pelosi wasn't up for re-election and she isn't a in the Senate.
Well if you don't live here, then STFU. Or perhaps more appropriately: "Don't Tread on Me".
Jt, if thats what you want to concentrate on, go ahead. lol. Your correct, Pelosi isn't a Senator, but she was up for re-election and won by 80%. Where is Californias Collective Head?? I dare not say for I would be banned. lol.
Rick, Such a sad post. Really?? STFU??? lol. Again the intellegence just comes shining through. lol. Come back when you actually have something to say.
I'm sorry. I thought the "Ret." behind your initials meant "Retired". My mistake. I'll speak real slowly from now on so that you can keep up.
Well......as a Californian who lived thru the FIRST terrible times with Brown, all I can say is, we are going to be VERY sorry we gave him a 2nd chance! This man was responsible for one of Ca.'s worst serial killers left behind bars for the last 40 years instead of being put to death (yes....they did a movie on him and his "crew")who paid for his(their) bills...TAXPAYERS. JB is NO friend of CA. And as far as his daddy goes.....well, talk to some old time folks who lived thru him! And Boxer.....ask any ex So. CA. MCD employee in LB how that one lies! Yep....CA is in for a VERY rude awakening for their choices....I can sleep with a clear mind.....voted for neither!
And here I thought that was just the wind whistling through the trees.
Californians know Senator Boxer and Governor elect Brown, that is why they elected them , They like the outstanding jobs they have been doing.
I'm glad the conservatives have taken over the House. Now they're in the hot seat and with their radical nonsense, we'll see how bad they really are. This win will ultimately end in their future defeat two years from now. The voters gave them rope and they'll turn it into a noose and hang themselves.
These two years are really an investment for the future of this country. It will be a moment of proven incompetence and they'll be swept away in the next election. The economy will improve (as it has been doing), they can't take credit for it and they will be written up in history as the new "no-nothings".
Thank you for your support.
Don, don't pass the buck so quick. I don't expect that the GOP run Senate will be able to accomplish anything due to the Dem run House and the Dem President. The fun thing is though. The Dems can't accomplish anything anymore without playing nice and listening to what the GOP has to say now. :D. AHHH Fun times.
BMC
Apparently, from this post and your previous one, you don't know the difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives. The GOP will not run the Senate. I'll try to make it just a bit easier for you. The party with the biggest number has the most control. Just in case you didn't get that far when you were trying to learn to count, 51 is BIGGER than 46. Keep posting though. It's kind of fun to read.
You could have left it right there, BMC_RET. Oh, and the GOP isn't running the Senate, Einstein. They're running the House of Representatives. The Democrats retained power in the Senate.
Jt, just because I got the House and Senate confused does not change one bit the outcome of the election or what I posted. SO laugh on. I am, at you. :D.
Your Emperor has no clothes.
I, for one, will be there to laugh at you and the other teabaggers when it becomes obvious, even to the most ignorant among you - it runs deep.
And because there are so many of you, I expect it will take quite a few years.
But rest assured... we'll have the last laugh. GUARANTEED.
Rick, I have to ask what your on about?? We started this thread talking about how the GOP is going to change things now that they have a majority in the Senate. I simply stated that there will be little difference with the exception of Obama's agenda will take a major slow down. As far as California and the wonderful liberals there who seem to not get it. Just keep on going in the same direction no matter how messed up it is. Keep digging that debt hole deeper and deeper. ORRRRRRR. You could wake up and smell the coffee. You could realize that the direction your currently headed is the wrong one and get back on track. As it is, Industry is leaving California in droves due to high taxes. Jobs are leaving due to Industries quick departure. Maybe tourism will save you guys. lol. Doubt it though. Crime is keeping tourists at bay. It is fun to watch though. Its like watching a car pile up in the interstate. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. :D.
BMC - we're not the ones digging the hole deeper! We're the ones who stopped the hemorraging that the Republicans started - and are poised to continue and re-open by extending tax cuts to the richest 2%. That's the real car pileup about to happen!
Rick, lets think about it. The Republicans cut taxes to businesses in hopes of creating jobs. Democrats raise taxes to businesses which stops job growth and even forces some businesses to move out of state or shut down all together. There have been many examples given on how Carli Fiorina has outsourced jobs to India. Think about HP and what they have to do to stay in business. Why does it cost $500,.000.00 for a three bedroom shack in California and you can get a mansion for that in Virginia? Why are property taxes so high? Is it the cost to run the Government? Welfare? Medicaid? The need to pay higher wages based on the Economy California has set up for itself? Where have all of these initiatives come from? Why is treatement permitted to every illegal alien at tax payers expense? You have sympathy for everyone except those who truely deserve it. Those Americans out there in California who are just trying to get by. Meanwhile jobs are leaving in troves. Simply put, enjoy your creation, but leave it inside your borders. The rest of America doesn't need it.
Those who did not live thru Brown's first assault to the taxpayers of CA are in for a VERY rude awakening! The man is a total self absorbed nutball! Do you even wonder WHY Manson is STILL in jail after 40+ years and was never put to his death sentence.....ask JERRY! Guess who has paid to take care of him all these years....not Jerry but all the Ca. taxpayers! And Boxer.....hmmmm.....ask any ex Long Beach MCD employee how much SHE lies to get a vote! I would not even call her ma'am much less deserving of the title senator. Her motto is "smile, makes people wonder what you are up to.....THIS time".
Well as the teabaggers always tell us at every opportunity... if you're not happy with it, then move.
I sincerely hope that our new congress will send California back with hat in hand. California voted for the same old politics. I will ask my new congressman and senator NOT to bailout California. Pelosi, Boxer and Brown will come knocking with hat in hand. The attitude of California amazes me. I thought they called themselves enlightened.
Its all that dope they are smoking apparently. This is your mind "Texas".. This is your mind on drugs "CALIFORNIA"!!!!! lol.
Here is an idea to reduce the unemployment rate in America and reduce the national debt at the same time. Sell California and Nevada to Mexico. This is what you call a win win.
If it weren't for California, mudslinger, you wouldn't have porn, and if not for porn, you wouldn't have a social life.
Next time, you might want to think about your best interest before you slam our fair state.
Lets see now, Pelosi, Boxer, Fienstein, Brown and of course the Dems in the States Assembly. The State of California is bankrupt and owes billions of dollars to Browns unions. How's that working for you now. Just remember "garbage in, garbage out.' Like a bunch of little children that never learned math, economics and most of all sevility. I will pray for California because I dont want it to infect the rest of the United States of America.
MizSherle...I AM in california...and northern cali and los angeles are freaking MORONS for voting this idiot back in office...
the only plus is pelosi is GONE!!!
Well lets see now, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Brown and the California State Assembly. California is bankrupt, owes billions of dollars, businesses are fleeing the state, welfare is out of control and illegal immigrants have packed the hospitals and prison system and your phones have a spanish line. Opps, I forgot one, Browns pension reforms from his first trip to the Governorship, billions of dollars in unfunded PERS accounts. Hows that working out for you? Like they say, "garbage in, garbage out."I just hope California falls into the sea before they can infect the rest of the United States of America!
I'm surprised at how many people are shocked that Brown/Boxer got the votes. This is a welfare state, the masses won't vote anything but a Dem in, and the Dems made it a welfare state partially to secure votes. It's a wheel that this state won't be able to get out of anytime soon. None of the people I work with (most of which are Reps/Tea Party people) are the least bit surprised. Maybe a bit disappointed, but it's the kind of disappointment you anticipate. Much in the same way your 5-year old will get into a cookie jar, despite your advising why it's not the right thing to do lol.
Continue to work hard and protect your investments, it's all you can do. Unless you really want to move to another state, which some have already done over the past few years. I'm staying here and I refuse to let this state dictate how successful or prosperous I want to be.
This is no surprise, after having resided and worked in california for years anyone who has ever lived there could predict this. California is so far leftist and anti anything american it will always be a safe haven for the likes of boxer/pelosi/brown. Thats why california is home base for the elite pedophilific hollywood types, gays and wanna be communists.
Thats also why everything is more expensive in california vs the rest of the country, and why their unemployment is higher and both are about to go up even more. Honest working people are leaving, business is leaving and california's condition will just become worse.
Its a shame too, it was a beautiful place for many years, but without a major collapse it appears to be past saving as is.
Yeh She's a big supporter of the military- The Communists in Nicaragua's Military
Yeah, stay away from California. We don't want idiots like you.
Yeah, stay away from California. We don't want idiots like you.
Alan - I thought it was a pot smoking - welfare receipient state already! So Boxer and Brown won. When California sinks into the Pacific and it is on its way and they have no more money to get the buckets to bail out - they can only blame - are your ready --- Boxer and Brown.
Maybe Brown can have his ex-girlfriend, Linda Ronstadt sing "Your No Good" to Boxer and all the California residents that remain after all the business owners move their businesses to other states.
So whoever doesn't agree with you is anti-American? Are you accepting the government programs of Medicare & Social Security Retired86?
lisa what are you talking about? Retired86 was on page 1. lol. Do away with Medicare and SS. Thats fine with me. Give me the money I have invested into both programs over the years and I'll invest it and take care of my own retirement. As far as putting words into peoples posts that aren't there, you should be very careful. 86 never stated that "whoever disagreed with him is anti-American.
