From Eric Dondero:

California Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina has increased her lead over Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer to five percentage points according to a new CBS 5 KPIX-TV poll released Thursday, which also shows gubernatorial candidates Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman in a dead heat.

Now Fiorina is continuing with the momentum taking a campaign swing through the troubled agricultural region of the Central Valley. She is emphasizing very libertarian themes on the environment.

"She has walked away from every opportunity to help," Fiorina said.

pumping restrictions imposed to protect the delta smelt remain a heated campaign theme. Signs dotting the region's highways beside barren fields proclaim a "Congress-created Dust Bowl." Other signs nearby bear Boxer's name with a slash through the "o."

Fiorina has accused Boxer of allying herself with "extreme environmentalists" [saying]...

"Forty-six thousand people lost their jobs because Barbara Boxer believed that a fish was more important than those 46,000 people and their families."
