Andrew Riley, a 59-year-old carpenter from Roseville, plans to vote for former businesswoman Carly Fiorina in the GOP Senate primary on Tuesday.
He says she's got a better chance than former Republican Rep. Tom Campbell of defeating Democrat Barbara Boxer this fall.
"We need some people in there who are business-savvy," said Riley. "I'm thinking she's going to be picking up more momentum."
In the closing days of the heated GOP Senate campaign, both candidates are making appeals that they're best suited to knock off Boxer, a three-term incumbent.
But as rank-and-file Republican voters ready for the election, they appear to be siding more with Fiorina.

Fiorina is a far better choice than Campbell or Boxer.
Although I like Chuck Devore and have some distrust of Carly Fiorina, I hope that conservates support her if she wins the primary. She will be a large improvement over Barbara Boxer.
That was 2 years ago.
I am a native here of California.
Not even Reagan could win in CA today.
DeVore isn’t going to win and the best person
is Fiorina and can beat Boxer.
The CEOs are “in charge”, as far as it goes. One reason they get away with being such idiots, imo, is that the playing field is level. Corporate culture (again, I’m talking about big companies) is the same everywhere, hence they all suffer from the same diseases.
At least you have a clue which is more than some on FR
DeVore is going nowheres fast even with the support of the anti Isreal PaulBots who on their forums back him and have done moneybombs for him.
Campbell is pro gay marriage, and too many far left views.
Exactly, I agree with you.
The main thing is to get Boxer out of the Senate
and Fiorina has the best chance
Boxer’s name brings forth profanity whenever her name is mentioned in CA along with Pelosi and Feinstein. They’re despised. All three exhibit pure arrogance and a disregard for their Constituents and a lack of caring about their country. It’s power, power, power, and damn anything else.

Campbell supports abortion rights and gay marriage
Campbell has refused to sign an anti-tax pledge from the group Americans for Tax Reform, and dodges questions about whether he would have supported President George W. Bushs 2001 tax cuts.
Campbell is currently on the defensive after it was found out that Sami Al-Arian, a convicted leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group, donated $1,300 to his 2000 Senate campaign.
In 2002, Campbell wrote a letter in defense of Al-Arian after he was fired from his job as a professor at the University of South Florida because of the investigation into his ties to terrorism
Weird how all the GOP can think about is who has the best chance of winning, all the while ignoring the damage that another rino will do the cause of liberty. Perhaps the real question ought to be who has the best chance of going to DC and stopping the scourge of corruption. IMHO- another feminist affirmative action dyke ain’t the way to go!
Lets not run any one, just let Boxer back in. We Must not
want to win.
Your argument is lost as DeVore has a low %.
Is in 3rd place. Isn’t going to win the primary.
and California has far more democrats than republicans
for the general election.
I am a native here over 60 years. worked in Reagans campaign for gov.
Wishing doesn’t make it so.
You have to face the world of reality
From the two graphs, it seems many of DeVore’s voters believe Fiorina’s chance is better than his in the general election.
“IMHO- another feminist affirmative action dyke aint the way to go!”
Supporting your apparent candidate Devore is one thing, perhaps even admirable; BUT remarks such as above which are undocumented, insulting, and patently false is something else. Your emotions are removing you from the realms of reality.
It’s easy for all of us to be extremely angry with the current administration and Congress in Washington. That anger should not distract or warp our minds about other candidates who are out to stop the socialism.
The media is trying to make happen what they want to happen. The election in November is not about Boxer, it’s about the policies of Obama which she has supported 100%. Only a candidate who is opposed to those policies and knows why can defeat her. That’s why Chuck DeVore is the best person to run against her. If Fiorina wins the nomination, the election will be about her mismanagement of HP, the outsourcing of jobs, and sale of technology to Iran and Boxer will come off looking like a patriot. Fiorina is the worst of the three up against Boxer.
Dude, I want real conservatives, too. But do you realize how stupid what you wrote really sounds?
OF COURSE, WE WANT TO WIN!
Politics is not philosophy. Support the person running who most closely supports your viewpoint. Sometimes, the support will be weak, but it's damned better than letting the opposition win.
Sheesh. This stuff seems simple to me.
so you are saying you’d rather have boxer in there because her business savvy is better than fiorina?
