Carly Fiorina "Considering" Bid to Oust Barbara Boxer in 2010

SACRAMENTO, CA -- Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina indicated today that she might seek the Republican nomination in 2010 to challenge incumbent Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).In a meeting with California College Republicans, Fiorina acknowledged that she is "considering a run for Barbara Boxer's seat" in the U.S. Senate. The room of young Republicans erupted with applause at the mention of Boxer's name. The Senate Democrat is a staunch liberal and the subject of much ire in conservative circles.
The California Republican Party Convention this weekend is playing host to a number of 2010 hopefuls. The halls are covered with competing campaign posters for California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, both of whom have started exploratory committees for a possible gubernatorial primary bid.
Poizner also spoke to the College Republicans, calling California's special-session budget deal "one of the worst pieces of public policy" in recent history and citing his own record of cutting the insurance department's budget by 10 percent.
The mood at the convention is a combination of angst and optimism. Two others who spoke at the College Republicans meeting, Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (who has declared his candidacy for Sen. Boxer's seat) and California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring, engaged in a friendly competition over who had more Facebook friends and Twitter followers.
DeVore is ahead, with over 1,500 Twitter followers and almost 3,000 Facebook friends, but the anecdote speaks to the Party's understanding that a technological revolution is necessary to secure electoral victories.
Meghan McCain will be pleased to know that all is not lost.

Carly, you ran a find company into the ground. Then you tried to prostitute yourself to McCain's campaign, a move which certainly revealed that you were in way over your head. You appear to be a female version of George Bush. You had a lot of help on the way up but lack the intelligence or ability to hold your own once you are cut loose. The only difference between you and Palin is her lack of surgical enhancement (yet? maybe?). Go back to sales, where you belong, and leave governance to the wiser and more altruistic.

Carly can be deaf and dumb she'll still be better than that dumb dumb stupid witch called Barbs Boxerstein. I live in California and will work to get her A__s outta there. Shes the gays and baby killers (those who love abortions)Senator. If you don't live in California don't pray to her represent us. You can have her.

If you bought stock in HP during her tenure then you have no reason to vote for her. She was an empty skirt who was long on talk and short on backing it up. Hmm, maybe there's a place for her in Republican politics after all.

Mike:
Great insight on Carly. She did fly HP into the gound...just another in a long line of incompetent Republicans who fiddled while Rome burned, and let their minions shovel money out the back door, in the form of stock options, bonuses, and golden parachutes.

Females in the Reepuke party are either air head bimbos who work for Fox News, old runny mouth spinters no man wants with radio talk shows or corperate skanks who got fushed out the door due to incompitence. Then there is Ms. Moosepoop who is in a class all her own.

Ms Fiorina has no chance of winning national office. Once her true business background came out she would be toast. She almost put HP out of business. She shipped thousands of jobs out of the country and her confronational ways of dealing with people were horrible.

We need to get rid of Boxer. She refused to listen to her constituents, she votes for any bogus bill that comes up on the floor. The last straw was the porker bill called the Stimulus package.. She is a socialist with liberal leanings.
I voted for Boxer in the past but no more.
I will evaluate Carly Fiorina and decide. My guess is I will vote for Carly.

Well that's my laugh for the day! She couldn't get the vote of any current or former HP employee if her life depended on it. She must think no one has a memory. She should try a state where no one knows her and one that I don't live in!

I'm part of the "Anybody But Boxer" campaign. I would vote for Lassie, instead of Boxer, because he has to have a higher I.Q.

I dont no hogs very well & as I dont eat them either ,I cant appreciate the analogy Gene. However I do comprehend Bankrupt. 8 very long year's of an administration who didnt give a rip about the middle class & where only the Mega Coporation's got the break's & extravagant perk's & that's the democrat's fault? Get real Greed was rampant & im not even sure our new President with all his good intention's can fix the mess the republican's left us, trickle down just about broke me & many other's to boot. God help us all.

Libs continually rant "its Bush's fault for 8 years" line. Well, for 6 of those 8 years, things were fine. To a degree, of course. Trouble actually started with Jimmy Carter a long time ago. Then along came the Dems in 06 - that's when everything started falling apart - the looney left in charge. Pelosi,Reid, Dodd, Frank, etc. All the bad actors - a nightmare come true.
It's hardly GWB's fault - he couldn't hold back the onslaught of idiots.

Isn't this the same woman who was kicked out of HP for authorizing "SpynGames" on her own top executives? I am no fan of either Barbara Boxer ofDianne Feinstein; in electing both of these women as Senaators Californians took this thing too far. I think both need to go, but Carly is definitley not the one to do the job.
