Which current politician represents you and how would they do if they ran in 08.

The top vote getter for any candidate in one state in one election in US history.

Um, California is the biggest state...

So? She's beaten everyone's 1 state total by at least a million votes, except Kerry 2004 in CA.

That statistic doesn't mean anything.  She's from a state with what, 30 million people or something.  Of course she's gonna get lots of votes, that's what you do when you're from a big state.  If someone had won in North Dakota with 57% of the vote, who would care?  Exactly.  It's no different in California.  The amount of votes she can get in her homestate is no reflection of how a radical like her would do nationally.

In CA, she beat Kerry, Arnold, Davis, Wilson, Gore, Clinton, Feinstein, and so on, and all but Kerry by at least 1 million votes. Kerry only beat Bush by 10 points, but she beat Jones by 20, despite that Bush is a wingnut, and she, and not Kerry, is the most liberal Senator.

And these things don't just scale down. I got 100% of the vote in an election once, but it wasn't Senator from California with 6.95 milliion votes.

Sure they scale down.  Her ability to win in her homestate has nothing to do with her ability to win anything more than those 6.95 million votes locked up in California.

How are these Arnold and Bush voters "locked up" by Boxer?

I think you have confused local politics quite severely with national politics.  Boxer got 57%; how much did Kerry get, something like 54% (wild guess)?  That leaves 3%.  Ooh, big gains that Boxer made with the Nader voters, huh?

Quit acting like Boxer getting the most votes for a Senate race means anything.  What if the largest state were Republican leaning and the winning Senator-elect won the most votes in history?  Would you be touting that fact?  No, because it shouldn't matter.  California's a big state, naturally lots of votes will be present.   If you seem to be thinking that Boxer has tapped some big base of Republican voters and would do well nationally, you're terribly mistaken.

In regards to Arnold, maybe it didn't occur to you that Arnold isn't exactly conservative.  He's pro-abortion and pro-gay rights.  That sort of thing plays well in California.
