1. I believe a woman is more likely to defeat Boxer. Boxers base is women's libbers and Carly is a successful woman so she can take some of that vote.
2. Fiorina is not a politician, shes a business person and we need more of that in Washington.
I’m with you on that aspect. We need more “people” on Capital Hill and a few less professional politicians.

She is that,but,she is also a full blown feminist, pro abortion and a Mexican butt kisser!NO THANKS.
Fiorina has major flaws, the first of which that she hasn’t bothered to vote during most general elections throughout her life. Boxer will savage her with that fact.
Second, I am guessing that Fiorina will be a lousy debater. She’ll get a deer-in-the-headlights look when asked a foreign policy question, confuse Sierra Nevada with Sierra Leone.
Third, the voters in play in California (my home state) are not college-educated women, or the women’s vote in general, but blue-collar white and non-white males who might be registered Democratic but are ordinary guys, like sports and the military, etc. Fiorina will not get these male voters excited. These guys are the essence of tea party movement and the Scott Brown voters in Massachusetts.
My favorite candidate, Chuck DeVore, will pick up these votes. He’s a regular guy but also smart, and will run circles around Carly and Boxer. He’s very Reaganesque and is a strong conservative, but not dogmatic.
Suggest you widen your perspective. Check out Chuck’s youtube videos and tell me whether you think he’ll appeal to Joe (or Jose) Sixpack in our state.
