Carly Fiorina is emerging as a potential GOP challenger for the US Senate seat of Bay Area liberal Barbara Boxer next year, and the prospect has energized the California Republican Party.
Not yet an official candidate, Ms. Fiorina is the former CEO of Hewlett Packard (HP) and was an economic adviser to Sen. John McCains presidential bid last year. Like Meg Whitman, who just announced her campaign for governor, Fiorina is a newcomer to politics with very deep pockets. She has registered a campaign committee that reportedly had a strong presence at the state GOP convention this past weekend in Indian Wells, Calif.
Her candidacy to unseat Ms. Boxer, now in her third term in the Senate and who has never faced a female opponent in the general election, would turn the election into one of the most-closely watched Senate races for 2010.
Fiorina would certainly skyrocket the attention paid to the 2010 Senate race, says Jessica Levinson, political analyst for the Center for Governmental Studies (CGS). Her candidacy is symbolically important for the GOP. It puts a new, younger female face on the party.

Carly “A million HP printers sold to Iran? We don’t market there” Fiorina
If that’s what we are down to, Babs will be re-elected.

Lamestream media’s next hope to deflect from conservative Candidates Chuck DeVore’s strong challenge to Barbara Boxer: Carly Fiorina
He won the straw poll 91% to 6%, proving the GOP based does not want her.
Sadly, Boxer has big money behind her, also huge contributors from Hollywood and the Silicon Valley. Unseating her would make my day though.
“GOPs next hope to unseat Barbara Boxer: Carly Fiorina”
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, etc.....
That is referenced in the article. She may be dumb, but is wily campaign-wise.
She is the biggest waste of taxpayer $$ ever. Do you recall when she was a new Rep, the first thing she did was the most expensive office renovation ever seen in Congress?
They don’t even pretend to be what they’re not.
Ooooh, good memory you have. It rings a bell. Yuck.
GOPs next hope to unseat Barbara Boxer: Carly Fiorina
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Libtards like her are not going anywhere!
Boxer and Fiorina could have a very interesting cat fight.
Boxer: House Bank Fraud winner. with 432 bounced checks.
Worse choice than McCain / Obama.
At least we know that Boxer is the enemy.
Ping. As I recall Fiorina left HP under a cloud. Add to that her advisory role with the loser, McCain, and what do we have? A loser.
California Pubbies must be brain dead to get excited over this woman.
"California Pubbies must be brain dead to get excited over this woman."
The "Pubbies" are not. Only the party above principle "just win baby" RINOs, the New Majority silk sock Nelson Rockefeller liberals and other odd assorted nitwits worshipping at the church of the RNC (RINO Central).
Orange County conservatives will not be supporting Fiorina. Take it to the bank.
What do you call a RINO with a horse face?...
A new breed...?
