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). ..............."

ROFL you Palin haters are a trip. So Devore lost because of Palin and Bush. Gotcha

DeVore lost because he failed.

As far as being an ignorant twit, shill and dupe? Palin picked the winner. you picked and supported the loser who is the twit/dupe/shill again. And furthermore after your boy lost you still can't take responsibility for your candidates loss. that is moving beyond being a dupe its moving into unicornland.

Yeah, that's why Corzine was reelected in New Jersey, NOT.

I cc’d you on that post because I remember you mentioning that speech a couple years ago.

Take a look at the crazy stuff in her speeches since then. I don’t think people realize what they just nominated.

Ok there. Devore’s campaign failed because he didn't connect, couldn't raise enough money and did not get his campaign off the ground floor.

Go check the numbers.

Excluding amounts given to the campaigns by the candidates themselves, Tom and Chuck both outraised Carly.

Campbell raised $2.6 million, DeVore $2.4 million, and Carly $7.4 million. Subtract out Carly's $5.5 million she gave her own campaign and she "raised" less than either Tom or Chuck. Elections should not be reduced to which millionaires can spend the most money to blast their untruthful campaign slogans across the airwaves.

Calling those who don't like the behavior of other pols haters is a liberal ploy. You RINOS shills are terrible win or lose, and lack any originality that you use DUmmy verbiage.

I’m not disputing that she’d be better than Boxer.

But a soiled piece of lint would be better than Boxer. And if all that satisfies you is to flip the D to R, Campbell would have been more competitive. So we’ve got the worst of both worlds — RINO, plus less electable.

As predicted, they’ve already started rolling out the job-losing and worst CEO status of FioRINO. Expect this to continue. The problem is that these criticisms are actually valid. FioRINO is a big fat gift to the witch Boxer.

And now we see tat FioRINO doesn’t know to watch her mouth when she’s wearing a mike??? This is gonna be a painful election season. I’ll pull the lever for R, but this is feeling like McVain for Prez all over again.

> Boxer filed a deadly blow this morning. Fiorina, fired from her job and shipped 30,000 jobs overseas. If this is close to true, the senate race is over in Cal. The repubs commited suicide yesterday.

It’s true. We’ve been warning about this ever since FioRINO started gaining steam and inexplicably won Palin’s endorsement. I’m washing my hands of this. I’ll pull the lever for FioRINO, but we WARNED YOU ALL, and this is not going to be pretty.

Her $5.5 million

another reason why Devore lost and Carly won. Devore was poor. I'm sure you will blame capitalism next for is defeat. You already blamed Palin and Bush. you might as well make it a trifecta.

Rino? Hard to be a RINO when I'm supporting the most conservative candidate on the stage for 2012 and you are doing everything including her for your candidates loss.

I would say those that tear down national conservatives are doing RINO work.

As I just said, "Elections should not be reduced to which millionaires can spend the most money to blast their untruthful campaign slogans across the airwaves." Under your model, we can just turn the Whitehouse over to George Soros and Bill Gates. "They can win!"

You said Chuck "didn't connect" due to his fundraising yet both he and Tom outraised Carly. The only one she connected with is her narcissistic self.

I'm sure you will blame capitalism next for is defeat.

I'm sure you're WRONG.

You already blamed Palin and Bush. you might as well make it a trifecta.

NO -- I did not. Quit lying.

sorry got you confused with Carry_Okie my mistake and I stand corrected.

As far as your statement that elections should not be about millionaires. In a capitalist system we have decided to ration resource by the use of money. In communist societies they ration resources by government fiat.

By using money to ration resources the best and brightest and most productive are able to accumulate more resources then others thereby ensuring that the cream rises to the top and our society as a whole advances in productivity and talent.

the fact that Carly was able to accumulate so much money that she was able to add $5.5million to her her campaign is a positive for her. It also makes others that want to lead our nation double their efforts to accumulate more resources. what a capitalist society and the government of that society need to do is ensure a level playing field to ensure those that accumulate those resources get them through work, effort, smarts etc and not corruption or connections. From Carly's history I would say she earned the money she used.

Please study history. What rises to the top is not the brightest, nor the most productive. (Ref: Southern Pacific, Anaconda Copper, etc)

the fact that Carly was able to accumulate so much money that she was able to add $5.5million to her her campaign is a positive for her.

Dude! She got $20M for being FIRED. In my book, that is NOT a positive!

you wish you could get $20million for being fired. Envy does not become you.

capitalism is rationing of resources by the use of Money. you need to study economics, history and political theory. while there are always exceptions to the rule those with the most money are most likely those most productive in society or what the present society considers to be the most valuable.

that is the underlying theory of capitalism and why it works the best of all economic systems. the most productive gets the most resources. you may not think Carly was the most productive but the capitalistic system sure did.

capitalism is not moral code this is also why crony-capitalism is such a threat to our society. It bypasses this basic rule of capitalism and allows those not most productive to gain those resources. It destroys the productivity of the system and causes stagnation and decline in society. Now Carly rose in the ranks of HP and made the CEO position, she translated that power and hard work into a contract which gave her $20million if she was let go. I see no problem with that.

I watched her interview by Greta on Fox after her stunning victory in primaries. Greta asked Carly about her job performance at H-P. Carly replied "It is great that there are actual records of what transpired at H-P during her reign as CEO". Then Fiorina rattled off a whole bunch of progress made by H-P during her reign as CEO. That was an impressive bunch of statistics. She did concede that some people lost jobs but it was lean times and her job was to do what is best for H-P. Fiorina should make a commercial from that answer. This lady is 100 times more intelligent than Boxer. I hope CA is intelligent enough to see that and dump Boxer.
