Barbara Boxer is one of two Democratic Senators representing California. She has a record for most statewide popular votes with nearly 7 million. Yeah she's that big a problem for the Republican's. In 2007 she schooled former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice on the issue of the War in Iraq. She has also shown major national leadership on Climate Change. In the 2010 Midterm Elections, she defeated Carly Fiorina by almost a ten point margin of victory, during a year where Republicans made huge gains nearly everywhere else.
