As much as it sickens me, Barbara Boxer will win in a landslide. She is in as much trouble by the candidacy of Chuck DeVore as Jerry Brown is endangered by Chelene Nightingale being on the ballot (assuming she qualifies).
California has become the primary exhibit in the case to show that Democracy is a failed experiment. Californians vote party affiliation. They hate the legislature and they'll put exactly the same folks back in office during the next election.
In large part because immigration has so heavily skewed the numbers during the past 25 years, Republicans are badly outnumbered in party affiliation/membership numbers in our state. This letter is simply an attempt to fatten the Senator's (already considerable) coffers. She'll win the next election, no question.
People won't really begin to care (if ever they will) until the state goes bankrupt.
