Boxer vs DeYankovic

From Rick Orlov at The Sausage Factory

U,S. Sen. Baarbara Boxer reported on Monday that she has more than $4.6 million in her 2010 re-election campaign, with more than 30,000 indvidual donors.
The Boxer campaign will report $4,622,744 cash on hand, with contributions in the period of $887,483. The report covers contributions for the first quarter of 2009 that ended on March 31, the campaign announced.
More than 4,500 new donors gave to the 2010 campaign for the first time during this quarter. Ninety percent of donors to the Boxer campaign have given $100 or less.
"I am so excited about the early support I have received from so many grassroots supporters," said Boxer. "It is inspiring to know I have so many people standing by me."

Don't get to excited there Senator.

You've still got Chuck DeYankovic to contend with.

Nevermind... Enjoy a good laugh and take it easy, Barbara.

Then there is this from Dante over Calitics

If you've been watching your TV over the past few months, you've undoubtedly seen the animated-gloss ads from Charles Schwab that feature that tagline Talk to Chuck.. When you visit the website, you should notice the emblem at the lower right corner: a square "talk bubble" with "talk to Chuck" inside it. Notice the style and font.

Now go over and have a gander at the website of self-styled conservative Republican (why anyone would call themselves that these days is beyond me) Chuck Devore, who is challenging Barbara Boxer for her Senate seat in 2010.

Scroll down. Notice the "talk to Chuck" with the square talk bubbles and a very similar block font? Definitely not coincidental. And IANAL, but does this constitute some sort of infringement of intellectual property rights? After all, if I were a brokerage, I wouldn't want to be associated with a political candidate on either end of the spectrum. Then again, if I were a political candidate on either end of the spectrum, I wouldn't want to willingly associate myself with a brokerage house. But then again, I'm not Chuck Devore.
