2. It would take a VERY smart person indeed to keep up with Sen. Boxer.
Barbara Boxer is a formidable woman. Carly Fiorina is out of her league.

3. 59,000,000 Americans voted for Sarah Palin
4,500,000 million of them in California. Just keep that in mind and don't get too smug. Never underestimate the stupidity of the average voter, especially in California.

in the American people's intelligence.

5. Sorry, BigD, but we NEVER re-elected W.
For that matter, we never elected him in the first place.

7. didn't she have chemo?

which, btw, flame away everyone, but a pre-existing, major, relapseable, awful health condition isn't something I want in my top employee.

Carly is a catty person. Reminds me of GWB, actually.

Edited on Thu Jun-10-10 03:06 PM by Clio the Leo
Her hair is cute ... her personality, not so much.

Edited on Thu Jun-10-10 05:23 PM by nichomachus
or have we entered the "Helen Thomas Era," where everything you say that we don't like becomes "inexcusable"

9. Fiorina was the worst of the McCain TV surrogates in 08
and as you may recall, that is saying something. She was amazingly bad.

11. Problem is she can afford to buy some pretty smart help

I agree that Boxer will be elected but Whitman could be a problem.

14. Carly The Outsourcer is a horrible candidate
Seriously, she was soooo gawdawful that the McShame campaign had to pull her as an advocate.

Process that for half a moment, the woman was not up to representing one of history's worst campaign. A group so worthless that Sarah Palin improved their polling.

I suspect Carly will either have to dodge Boxer or she'll implode. She really, really sucks ass.

18. She's one to TALK....


Her book should have been titled: "Bad Choices" not "Tough Choices"

She's a typical corporate psychopath.

19. Her business "successes" will give Boxer all the ammo she needs
I live in L.A. and things have been so fucked in CA for the past few years, all BB will have to do is push the outsourcing and golden parachute for failure issues and I think Carly will be nice and toasty by November. I'm more worried by Whitman. She's got more money than God and obviously has no problem trying to buy the governorship. Jerry Brown is clearly smarter and more qualified, but Meg is an obvious sociopath and could slip in just like Arnold did. Thankfully, she doesn't have his star power, but nothing surprises me about the collective intelligence in the USA these days.

:banghead:

21. I think you have a very legit point here.
Whitman has gone under the radar. The amount of money she spent to win a primary is staggering. I can't recall wher I heard it but someone on a prog radio station mentioned that she basically spent about 200K for each vote.


$200,000 per vote.

And I am pretty sure that the Salary for California governor is about that amount. http://www.stateline.org/live/details/story?contentId=207914

Boxer is a smart woman -- I won't take her win for granted, and dems need to keep supporting her but Whitman/Brown -- that race makes me really nervous for California. She is BUYING the damn seat.

20. She will still get teabagger support!
Whitman wants to trade chickens for healthcare and she manages to attract voters.
