Fiorina v. Boxer. Fiorina - what’s not to like?

The three main current problems with Fiorina is that

When compared to Boxer, she's a win. I hope. I made that mistake with Schwartzenegger once, so I'm wary.

The ongoing Arnold debacle taught us all that lowering our standards in the CA GOP does nothing to expand our political power. Indeed, it drives conservatives and businesspeople out of the state, making us poorer and more liberal.

The choices are Fiorina Vs Boxer. I will vote for Fiorina, all of your analysis might have done some good before the primaries, it is useless now as there is no one to take Carly’s place.

You’re absolutely right. Arnold is a shame. I wish it had been McClintock.

That said, when compared to boxer she’s a win.

We have to take them how we get them.

her previous actions as a CEO of a beloved company - and California icon - make her hated, and thus politically weak;

Only among leftist Silicon Valley execs

her actions as CEO point to tendencies to look at herself as a "better" and not a fellow common citizen, which is exactly the disease that infects the Senate in general;

Please explain the actions. The software sold to Iran? That was done before she became CEO. The necessary cost-cutting and merger with Compaq to make HP stronger in the long-run?

and she said she probably would have voted for confirmation of Sotomayor, if she had the chance.

Pure speculation that borders on bovine feces. You don't know what she would have done. All indications point to a solid center-right Republican that has the advantage over Boxer.
