Beating Babs Boxer in California was a long shot, at best. The state tilts so far left that a Democrat has to do a Gray Davis level screwup before there is any chance of a statewide Republican win.
Boxer may be dumb, but no dumber than the California electorate at large.
“I give Carly credit for at least working her way up to her level of incompetence at HP.”
She didn’t work her way to the top at HP. Her first job at HP was CEO. She was at Lucent technologies and that was a disaster, she came to HP for a repeat performance.
I’ll chime in here.
Carly wasn’t going to beat Boxer. She had the support of Feinstein and Pelosi.
They are powerful women and bring to bear quite a bit of resources if one of their own needs help.
Look at her nephew, Gavin Newsom. Don’t think he’ll be governor? And that hottie Kamila?
They are in like flint.
