Former Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Carly Fiorina will be the Republican Party nominee in the November race against Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Fiorina was the top vote-getter in Tuesday's primary election in a Republican field that included former Rep. Tom Campbell and conservative Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Irvine). ..............."
What's your definition of "pretty decent"? Not Arnold, IMO

Thanks.
I just don’t get the attempts around here to defend liberalism.
It’s all turned into a popularity contest and trying to silence any real discussion of issues.
It’s 24/7 campaign tactics with no one watching where these #$@%^#$@’s are taking us.
Some still think having Arnold as Governor was “winning.” :-(
Same way they're falling for RINO's today. Most don't have the time, inclination, and/or discernment to bear down on this stuff the way we folks do.
Well dang! That’s darn good too!
Is Carly the most conservative pick we had? no However she was the most conservative that could win and like Brown in Ma who I do not agree with 100% but closer to 80% of time Carly is what we have to work with. Now conservatives like myself have a choice to make. Do they rally around Carly to defeat Ms. Liberalism herself Boxer and thereby swing the state of Ca more towards the right or do they continue to suck sour grapes and hand the victory to the left wing nut job Boxer.
I could sit here and nitpick Carly to death on things I do not agree with her on. From your post of that speech I agree the gov should upgrade their IT but I do not agree with the open-border talk. Boxer there is nothing I agree with. Carly I can find common cause with on many issues pro-life, pro-gun, smaller smarter government, limited spending among them.
yes the lesser of two evils suck but that is sometimes the hand life gives you. I would have loved to see Devore take off in the polls but he didn't. He should have been smart and withdrawn when the handwriting was on the wall so to conserve his political strength instead of losing in such a public fashion. Just his inability to do that simple politics 101 showed he was not ready for the job.
How many people here have forgotten it is Barbara Boxer who wants to mandade the UN in charge of all our children. I have yet to hear Fiorina say something so obscene.
And dozens of freepers on this thread were duped* in 2003 and were trashing their antagonists with BS supporting Arnold, just as they are doing with Fiorina today. Same ol', same ol'.
*By using the word "duped," I am being generous. In reality, I believe many of these folks are either 1) deliberately working to move the country to the left and/or 2) too ignorant to think for themselves and will simply follow instructions or repeat vapid talking points of the RINO campaign-manager-dujour.
This is also first time she has been challenged by a Republican with name recognition and MONEY!!!!!!!!
Well that comment tells me you live nowhere near the SW..... it isn’t even CLOSE to a Hispanic name.
Been here almost 12 years, but thanx anyway.
Sadly when Arnie ran for re-election Steve Schmidt (of McCain campaign fame) convinced him he needed to move to the left...
I was speaking of the ideology of one person you claimed to be conservative.
That conversation had nothing to do with Barbara Boxer, Chuck Devore, or any other politician.
As I said, I’ll fight liberalism no matter what direction or party it comes from.
Fiorina small government? Hah! Go read some more speeches. She believes that her “new renaissance” of elitist business pals should partner with Government and make decisions for all us peasants. Hello Global governance. Ever heard of the WEF? Maurice Strong? Progressivism?
IIRC no one was really aware during the recall election that he was in sync with his wife's cousin, Robert, when it came to environmentalism... nor did the subject come up in the debates because our current debate system is driven by the MSM's current agenda rather than really finding out what a candidate would do in office...... I did see him try to take on the unions and the people of the state ended up not supporting him, which only made him move more left for his second term, which has been a huge disappointment.
Au contraire:
An Analysis of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Environmental Policy, Sept 2003.
It's all in there in black and white. AB32 (in theory), conservancies, government dollars for follies like the "hydrogen highway", etc. Shame on California voters for voting for a popular celebrity and ignoring all of the warning signs.
I remember another long post exposing just who the leftist organizations were supporting Arnie's crap. The list of libs and lib organizations was much longer than RFKjr.
I hope so, I am sick of that damn pic.

The victory that conservatives need to keep their eye on the ball is the victory of getting conservative Leadship in the positions of power. If that means backing an 80% conservative like Carly so be it.
I don't have a problem with leadership or leaders. It's rulers I protest.
on that I’ll agree with you.
Well as I see it you have a center right candidate vs Ms. Liberalism herself Boxer. to tear down Carly is to rise up Boxer at this stage.Now that was good, the best on this thread so far, and won't be topped I'm sure.Is Carly the most conservative pick we had? no However she was the most conservative that could win and like Brown in Ma who I do not agree with 100% but closer to 80% of time Carly is what we have to work with. Now conservatives like myself have a choice to make.

I strongly endorse what you wrote here, unseen1.
You might be unseen, but you should definitely be read.
