Oh God no! Carly Fiorina reiterates her interest in Barbara Boxer's senate seat.
Former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Carly Fiorina said she’s “seriously considering” a run for the Senate seat now held by Barbara Boxer.

Fiorina is a joke, and can not hold a candle to Barbara Boxer. Boxer is one of our best liberal senators.

1. That would be entertaining.
She would be squashed in a hurry.

2. The major sign of her stupidity
is that she is considering running against Boxer. Feinstein, maybe. But Boxer? :rofl:

3. I know what a laugh.
Fiorina must think Feinstein is doing great job (NOT).

It was that same Fiorina brilliance that she took HP over the cliff. California doesn't want or need her kind of help. No thank you.

8. Just make sure y'all keep reminding everyone of that...
We are already dealing with the aftermath of incompetent businessfolk, from the former President on down. Who really wants another one in a place of power?

4. It can only make Boxer stronger
Sometimes a little competition is a good thing, it keeps us on our toes.

7. True. It would be like a race between Obama against Palin.
The more you hear Palin, the more you favor Obama.

I don't know how people like Fiorina thinks she would be wanted or needed by the electorate, when they have literally nothing to offer us.

20. If they ever make a play out of that somg...
..."The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum" then Sarah Palin would have to be the star.

What a goombah!

9. Evidentally because Fiorina has over $20 million in her bank account
she thinks she can do damn near anything, despite her lack of skills and qualifications.

11. ...but, but but Carly is so good at offshoring jobs.
Isn' that the kind of experience that would be of value to our economy now?

13. Considering that Fiorina is a failed corporate exec
California should definitely elect a woman who was fired from her job because of incompetence, a failure to perform a responsible fiduciary duty to her shareholders, and being a callous hateful bitch. :eyes:

17. She could not unseat either. Boxer and Feinstein will remain the senators of my
state until they retire. I rather see a real progressive replace her; like Barbara Lee, but Feinstein has her seat on lockdown and so does Boxer.

23. The same one that even the McCain campaign eventually distanced themselves from
This ought to be entertaining.

I'm a bit more worried about Whitman. I've heard she actually may have a chance. Yeechhh!

19. If she does as good as she did with Hewlett-Packard...
... then we are in for a helluva ride.

Apparently this egomaniac does not realize her professional life has been an abject and total failure.

Anyone who bought an HP computer during this woman's reign as HP CEO knows what I mean. Total POS.

24. She is as out of it as Condi Rice.
Condi Rice had a hard time realizing her political life was over after she sold herself out to the Bush admin and Chevron. Carly will have a difficult time realizing that despite all her money the people of California do not like people who sell off their jobs for their personal gain like Carly did - as a result Carly will never be able to launch herself into political office unless she is appointed by some right wing nutjob.

26. Doesn't she know that Boxer is our # 1 and always
?

She better get prepared to get her feelings hurt if she even tries to mess with our Barbara.

27. I'll spend time in Cali helping Barbara get a victory if I need to
I'm not worried though. She would kick Carly's ass.

29. Fucking up a major corporation is surely a feather in her cap
Don't think Boxer has anything to worry about.
