Boxer needs to go, but couldn’t we get someone better than Fiorina?
Yes, my thoughts exactly. And the answer is that once Sarah Palin endorsed Carly (who was trailing Campbell at the time), it was all over for Campbell and for Chuck Devore.
Chuck DeVore was a good guy and good Conservative, but unfortunately he never got much traction. Campbell was more libertarian, but at least he stood for something and he was doing well in both the polls against the other two and in the polls against Boxer. Carly is just rich and can spend millions creating and polishing an image, which is likely what got her the endorsement.
I'll vote for Carly, but only to get Boxer out of there, not because I have any appreciation of Carly Fiorina.
Its California. This is about as good as it gets.
