Your response regarding Fiorina illustrates exactly what the Boxer campaign against her will involve.

I’ve debated a few FReepers here about the incompetence of Sarah Palin meddling in our primary. They seemed to buy in somehow that Fiorina would be the strongest candidate against Boxer. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fiorina is the weakest of the 3 in a head to head agAinst Boxer. Why don’t Republicans ever get it, that being a job killing corporate CEO is NOT an asset in any election, especially one in the height of a deep recession and record unemployment.

Fiorina is exactly the kind of candidate Boxer wants to run against. Fiorina’s background is the one lifeline Boxer has to change the subject to one that is favorable to Boxer. Fiorina’s job killing tenure at HP is just the distraction Boxer needs to keep her own job.

DeVore’s support has imploded, repeat , imploded.

All California conservative Republicans MUST coalesce and get behine Carly Fiorina. DeVore is not a viable candidate. and votes for him are a vote for Tom Campbell and Barbara Boxer.

For the record, Chuck DeVore has nose-dived to 14 percent support.

Please tell all of your friends to support Carly.

Sarah Palin really delivered for Carly . . oh my!

Boxer is in deep, deep trouble.

People don’t like her.

Incompetence? Fiorina’s incompetence at HP pales into nothing WHEN COMPARED TO BOXER’S SENATE RECORD.

I don’t argue that CF is best against Boxer. Irrelevant question IMV.

Campbell MUST be defeated. Then, IF DeVore cannot win, it’s on him. Not on us or California Repubs, but HIM.

Leaving CF or Babs...

Since Campbell is running ahead of DeVore, would you have us vote for Campbell instead?

Why do you always dicount the damage Tom Campbell has done?

DeVore has always been a pipe dream as he's always polled dead last...

Fiorina’s “job killing” at HP will let Boxer keep her job?
Ok then.
So how about Boxer's job killing porkulus vote which put us into debt by a massive $1 Trillion, and ended up driving unemployment to 9.9%?
Look, whatever Firiona may have, or not done at HP, pales into insignificance as compared to the total train wreck the the 0bama/Pelsi/Redid/Boxer regime have visited upon this country in the last 16 months.
You think Fiorina is going to sit idly by and let Boxer get away with ads about “job killing” a HP, without hitting Boxer right between the eyes with some nasty attack ads over porkulus, 0banmcare and cap and trade?

You have to remember, this is California we're talking about.

If a Senate candidate is unable to draw some Democrat votes from Los Angeles and San Francisco, they can't win.

The state has changed dramatically since the days of Reagan.

Well said. Fortunately you and I have a vote in this primary. Seems like most of the Fiorina cheerleaders here don’t.

True, thanks for the reasoned post.

Revel:

As everyone should have found out with Scott Brown. Supporting a Rhino is no different than supporting a democrat. Conservatives should refuse to vote for a Rhino no matter what. Stand on principles. It might not change anything this time, but hopefully there is a next time.
No more lesser evil should be voted for.

Some say if voters don't vote for the leftist "R" it is the fault of the voter.

Not so, it's all on the backs of the GOP.

If they won't support Conservatives, they WILL not get my vote.

They have been pushing this lesser of two evils on us for too long.

If we keep voting for the GOP weak choices, they will keep foisting them upon us.

Job Killing tenure?

You sound like someone from socialist international.

Companies cut jobs and hire in other areas that make them competitive.

HP would have gone the same way of Gateway inc if those difficult decisions had not been made.

Very true. She has the highest negatives of the three. If she wins the primary, kiss our chances goodbye in November.
