Floored Fiorina and Boxed Boxer

As we get closer and closer to the election between current Senator Barbara Boxer and hopeful Carly Fiorina, things should be heating up. That's not exactly what's happening. Many, when given the choice between the two candidates are choosing none of the above. Even the San Francisco Chronicle has taken a turn in not supporting either opponent. Here is what Politico described:

In what it calls an "extremely rare" move, the San Francisco Chronicle is refusing to endorse either Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer or her Republican challenger, Carly Fiorina.    

“It is extremely rare that this editorial page would offer no recommendation on any race, particularly one of this importance,” read an editorial in Sunday’s paper. “This is one necessary exception.”

“It is a dismal choice between an ineffective advocate for causes we generally support and a potentially strong advocate for positions we oppose,” the paper concluded. “Neither merits our endorsement for the U.S. Senate.”

In this state of disarray, a healthy dose of rivalry between supporters  would do well to somewhat unify voters. But we cannot even hope for opponency this time around, that is if Boxer and Fiorina don't step it up a notch. This election may turn out to be a close call but for all the wrong reasons.
