#1 Her political baptism came as an adviser to the McCain-Palin campaign.

Sheesh! There is a good reason NOT to vote for her!

#2 "...where Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman united the national conservative movement against a liberal Republican candidate and let a Democrat sneak in to win a key congressional seat,..."

Wait. I thought the liberal Republican endorsed the Democrat when she dropped out. Rewriting history? Or is my memory possibly bad (again).

#3 There was talk of having her as McCain's vp at some point. My friend, an ex HP employee said that would have been the one thing to cause him to vote for Obama.

#4 OK, so I just googled "chuck devore for senate" and guess whose web site popped up first? Carly Fiorina's! Is google trying to get me to drink the koolaid? That pisses me off. Are the country club republicans gonna shell out big bucks for Fiorina and ignore DeVore? We're gonna get six more years of Boxer if they do.

#5 at scripps news:

"In June, The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Fiorina had voted in just five of 18 national, state and local elections in which she was eligible to cast a ballot since she registered in Santa Clara County in 2000, according to public records."

beyond that her record as a CEO was somewhere between mediocre and awful

#6 I hear Carly speak last week (yes it rymes) and my impressions was somebody who has theri stuff together and doesn't dodge questions or pass responsibility. She was aske some pointed questions about HP and to be quite honest she gave some very clear and concise answers. I really think she can take out Babs Boxer simply because she is not part of that political elite. DeVore can never win a statewide office or he would already be in one.

#7 Since when is Fiorina pro-life? She wasn't as of the 2008 convention. For that matter, she gave a really horrible, sleep-inducing convention speech.

Oh, OK, by Media Matters standards, she's pro-life, but then, by that standard, so's John Kerry & Bill Clinton.

#8 I should add, by their standards, *I'm* pro-life, in that I think it's an abomination and I'd probably shun anyone I found out had gotten one. But I certainly don't think it's murder, and I'm kind of leery of the shitstorm if they overturned Roe vs. Wade.

#9 I'm afraid CS is spot on. Devore is our preferred candidate for conservatives, but would have no chance against Boxer and her warchest. Fiorina is not a good GOP candidate, but she's better than "Dumb as a box of hair" and would at least vote most times with the Caucus. We don't need Barbara for another six years for purity's sake (I hate making that argument, but it's reality). If Devore had more name recognition, more campaign funds, and a healthier state GOP behind him it might be different
