Carly Fiorina may be closing in on California Sen. Barbara Boxer in recent polls, but reports released Thursday show the three-term incumbent with a vast advantage in one very important area: money.

Campaign finance figures released by the campaigns showed Boxer with nearly 12 times the cash on hand as Fiorina — $11.3 million to $952,786 — after a six-week reporting period that ended June 30.

Boxer, a Democrat who did not have any significant primary opposition and got an infusion of cash from events with President Obama, also outpaced Fiorina in fundraising from other sources over the six-week period. She raised nearly $2.6 million.

Fiorina, a Republican, had total receipts for the six-week period of $3.3 million. Only $1.4 million of that came from others, while $1.9 million came from a personal loan to her campaign in the final weeks before the June election, part of $5.5 million she donated in the primary.

3. The Boxer campaign

is soliciting for funds 24/7. I get maybe 3-4 call a day from them. It's getting kind of annoying since I already donated as much as I am going to.

7. How f'ing sad is it when we all have to think that's a good thing?

8. She needs to pound Carly on her HP record esp. jobs

She got rich by deporting jobs. Lather, rinse, REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT!

9. I would be shocked if Fiorina came within 5 points.

Absolutely shocked... Boxer and her team know very well how to tear down their opponents. She decimated Matt Fong 12 years ago and everyone thought that, too, would be close. It was a 10 point lead on election day.

10. Twelve times the dough and a thousand times the

dignity.

Barbara Boxer rules.

11. Cash is king

sadly in many ways but not this one

Fiorino is bilking money from donors like she bilked HP
