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

You can call me any name you want. Won’t change the fact that you didn’t win. How did the falcon candidates do?

There was a thread on here last night about a CA election law that requires a polling place for every one thousand registered voters. Each polling place must have five paid poll workers. Something like 60% of voters now cast ballots by mail.

With 20% a good primary turnout, that would be 200 voters, mail and in person, per polling place, on average. How long can that take 5 workers to count, record and report?

JAMES INHOFE
U.S. Senator (R-OK)
endorsed Fiorina. Probably the most Conservative in the Senate

Great, so you are going to assist Boxer’s win.

You are a real piece of work. We need to overturn Obamacare. Fiorina beating Boxer means that a loss of one Democrat Senate seat and a gain of one Republican Senate seat. This means one seat closer to gaining a GOP majority in the Senate. Which is one vote closer to a veto-proof 60 seat majority, which is WHAT IS NECESSARY TO OVERTURN OBAMACARE.

You are part of the problem. You are a big part of the problem. People like you will sit smugly in your principled conservative defeat when the Republicans can only muster 59 votes to overturn Obamacare because Boxer is still in the Senate.

People like you gave us Obama and will insure that Obamacare is never overturned and becomes the entrenched law of the land. Once people start collecting on this entitlement, it will become politically impossible to withdraw, even with 99 conservative Republicans in the Senate and Ronald Regan’s ghost in the White House.

We have a few short years to overturn Obamacare and RINOs like Fiorina who get us to a veto-proof majority are necessary to that end.

I am baffled, disappointed and infuriated that you can’t see that or refuse to assist our battle trying to overturn Obamacare. You and those like you are stabbing conservatives square in the back. You are less than worthless.

What part of retaking the Senate with a veto-proof majority to overturn Obamacare do you not understand? Fiorina helps in that effort. Boxer does not.

I agree with you 100%. We need hard Conservative Republicans in the red states to govern from the right, and fill in with RINOs in the commie stats. Like Brown filling “Ted Kennedy’s seat”, you aren’t going to get solid Conservatives from the Coommie states. You have to be happy with RINOs from those states to give us majority numbers in the House and Senate, and elect true Conservatives from flyover country to actually govern from the right.

1. Get a Republican majority.
2. Dump the bums who lead the GOP replaced with true conservatives.

That is the winning prescription. RINOs from the commie states are the best we can do there and help the conservative cause by keeping GOP majorities in the House and Senate for the true conservatives to govern.

Watch in Nevada and see a REAL conservative clobber Reid while your RINO gets shredded by a marxist b*tch.

No comparison between the races...a solid blue state versus a flip flopper...

The current congress came about because Emanual pushed conservative Democrats in typically Republican districts.

Think! California is not going to elect pricipled Conservatives to national office. It is not going to happen. Reagan was 3 decades ago back when California still leaned to the right. California is a deep blue state now, no matter how many conservatives pepper the inland valleys.

RINOs in the commie states like California is the best we are going to get. That fills in “R” seats for a GOP takeover of the Senate to repeal Obamacare. The real Conservatives have to come from flyover country where they are realistically electable.

Think big picture. Think repeal of Obamacare. What gets that done? RINOs from blue states that fill out a 60 seat veto-proof Republican majority are a good thing.

It is saying much if we retake the Senate majority and overturn Obamacare.

I’d love nothing more than to have a true conservative win in CA...but I don’t smoke dope like most in this state and tend to live in the objective/real world...

You cannot compare Nevada to California — yet..... a conservative cannot win in California in a general election, there is still a chance in NV .... but even that will be difficult since the unions are huge in that state.

Mark my words.

Well I hope your prognostication skills improve.

Tom Campbell 196,305 22.8%

Chuck DeVore 152,871 17.7%

Carly Fiorina 488,495 56.7%

Tim Kalemkarian 8,442 0.9%

Al Ramirez 16,814 1.9%

Wishing for something doesn't make it so.

Simply google California election results and you will get a link that will give you the results. DeVore was behind even Campbell on the site I visited.
