I’m not in CA, so I really don’t care. I’m just saying that I wouldn’t assume the former CEO of HP has business-savvy. Political savvy, maybe.

New Jersey, the east coast version of Callyfornia.

NJ? I guess you can relate some.

The same kind of Republican voter in NJ is the same as in CA.

We’re pretty happy here in NJ right now with our governor.

There are rocks in my backyard with more intelligence and business savvy than Barbara Boxer. Fiorina isn’t a great candidate or even a good conservative, but she just might be able to take down Babs.

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.

And when you concede that no conservative can win you get Gov Arnold and a bankrupt state.

Oh come on! Even a Republican Gov like Arnold knows when to pick his battles against a huge liberal state legislature.

Fiorina sounds like Kay Barely Republican without the moderation but the full libralism. She should fit nicely with the majority of the CA GOP.

Maroon posse alert.

Fiorino clearly has far more money than sense, as demonstrated by this statement made by someone campaigning for her. With FRiends like this....

Given that this passes for high caliber of thought employed by those allegedly working for Fiorino in the primary, Boxer can hardly wait to meet them should Fiorino buy the nomination.

I say the above quote proves how it could not be any clearer why conservatives and the teaparty needs DeVore to win the GOP nomination.

This is total BS.

Just after Arnold was elected he had the public support to do what he wanted. He chose to present Propositions 56, 57, and 58 as a way out of the immediate crisis with the promise to "cut up the credit card." Prop 56 would have facilitated raising taxes by passing a budget with a 55% vote. Prop 57 was an authorization for massive borrowing (against a deficit dwarfed by what we have today). Inside Prop 58, was the removal of the "prudent reserve requirement," the last vestige of the Gann spending limits of 1979.

Worse, when Arnold went to Wall Street for the money, he used Wall Street underwriters. Had he used California bond houses he would have derived an additional $250 million in state tax revenue as well as the resulting economic activity of retaining the cash in state. For that, he should have gone to jail.

I’m still going to vote for DeVore in the Primary. He’s the most conservative candidate of the 3. If Fiorina wins the primary without my vote, I’ll vote for her in the general but I’m not going to vote for the “lesser of 3 evils” in the primary.

Are you sure? You mean your comment #55 that responds to sabe@q.com?

It doesnt look like I even commented at all on this thread.

Is the Sacramento Bee field poll something that we should really be paying much attention to??

In the General Election won’t the strong support by Palin hurt Fiona somewhat?
