Carly Fiorina May challenge Senator Barbara Boxer in 2010

[SuperTrouper]

Looks like Carly Fiorina is coming out from under her rock after John McCain threw her under the bus in 2008 as a campaign economic spokesperson in McCain's miserably failed Presidential effort. Carly has not decided if she will challenge our juggernaut Senator Barbara Boxer, but she is indeed toying with the idea.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former Hewlett Packard CEO and Republican National Committee "Victory 2008" chairwoman Carly Fiorina said she isn't ready yet to declare whether or not she will run against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in 2010.

And in a remarkable speech to Republican Party activists in Sacramento, the corporate chairwoman who was forced out with a $42 million golden parachute, said her party "can never defend greed and excess."

In a brief interview, after first saying she wasn't granting media interviews, Fiorina indicated she is at least mulling a U.S. Senate run. She said: "I haven't made a decision yet. I'm really here to meet as many people as I can"

1. hahaha

good luck with that.

[damonm]

2. Good luck with that, Carly - you're gonna NEED it...

[BeyondGeography]

3. Road kill

Whitman, Fiorina...What is it with these dot.com femmes follies? I'm not terribly impressed with the Democratic field for Governor, so eBay Woman can't be totally discounted, but Carly v. Boxer?

[BanzaiBonnie]

4. Let her go for it

She'll be toast.

[Jennicut]

5. Just try it, Barbara would kick her ass in two seconds. I dare her.

[avaistheone1]

9. It will be fun watching Carly get her brains beat out by Boxer.

I can't wait.

[CTyankee]

11. After what Boxer did to Mika B. on Morning Joe a while back, I sure wouldn't want to run against her

Mika looked like she didn't know what hit her...

[avaistheone1]

18. lol I am sure she didn't.

[Parker CA]

6. She would make Palin's attempt look heroic. She has zero chance. Boxer is locked for this seat.

[Brother Buzz]

7. She carries to much baggage to run for any office in California

She needs to relocate to another state, a red one, to even be considered a viable candidate.

[avaistheone1]

8. Carly doesn't have a snow ball's chance in hell of getting Boxer's seat.

She was escorted out of Hewlett-Packard for ruining that company. She also was responsible for off-shoring tens of thousands of jobs. California definitely does not need or want Carly Fiorina in public office.

I guess all her offers in the private sector must have died off after she drove HP over the cliff.
:rofl:

[Kahuna]

10. Har! Good luck with that..

:rofl:

[benld74]

12. Ya mean SHE of EX-HP Exec fame and 21M chute with 21M pension?

[IDemo]

13. "Americans have no god-given rights to jobs."

I'm sure that quote won't harm her chances any...

[avaistheone1]

16. ...but executives like Carly have their God given rights to their 21M chute with 21M pension

[HughBeaumont]

50. "Talent like hers doesn't come cheap."

You know, if by "talent", they mean a business strategery that pretty much consists of "LAYOFFS", "OUTSOURCING", "merging with crap companies" and "spending 2-3 times as much to have the same revenue you had when you started 5 years ago" . . . then by gawrsh, Chainsaw Carly's WORTH every penny, it seems!

[NoPasaran]

14. Bug, meet windshield n/t

[EFerrari]

51. LOL!

:applause:

[Bleacher Creature]

15. Bring it on.

[Kalyke]

17. Baha, Baha. Bahahahahahahahahahahaha!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Good, sniff, luck, sniff, Carly.... laughing so hard I'm crying.

[Hello_Kitty]

19. I'd like to see Carly campaigning around Silicon Valley

I hear she's really well-liked there.

:sarcasm:

[camera obscura]

20. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! She's a woman of the people! Go for it!

[Bobbie Jo]

49. Actually...she "has people" for that kind of thingy.

[SpookyCat]

21. Whooo! Thanks!

Needed that laugh! HA!

:rofl:

[Hellataz]

22. Whatever with her, I'm more worried about Meg Whitman, she's the last thing we need.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

23. "It is to laugh"

- Bugs Bunny

[LiberalFighter]

24. The question that should be asked is what has she done since she stepped down from HP?

And why?

[Sultana]

25. She'll lose epically

Carly don't even try :eyes:

[AlCzervik]

26. Run Carly Run. I'll be buying lots of popcorn and beer and hoping for a good seat.

Barbara Boxer will fuck your shit up Carly so run!

[olegramps]

27. She is the perfect Republican candidate.

She exemplifies every thing that the Republicans stand for. Unrestricted greed. Her career took off after she divorced her husband and married Frank Fiorina and executive at AT&T.

[karynnj]

28. Even McCain realized she was a loose cannon and grounded her

I like this comment in the OP - And in a remarkable speech to Republican Party activists in Sacramento, the corporate chairwoman who was forced out with a $42 million golden parachute, said her party "can never defend greed and excess."

[MadBadger]

29. Debates between the two would be EPIC

an EPIC Slaughter

[SuperTrouper]

32. LOL!! Barbara Boxer showed what she is made of when she mockingly called Lindsey Graham "theatrical"

and threw political punches at the GOP in the debate for the stimulus package.

[damonm]

38. Actually...

such a battle of wits between Fiorina & Boxer would be like killing a fly with a '49 Buick...

[avaistheone1]

30. Carly is a legend in her own mind. Let her run.

She will fail miserably.

[Starry Messenger]

31. May I also add a BWAHHAHAHAHA?

[saltpoint]

33. Absent an actual crystal ball I still feel Boxer would destroy Fiorina.

Go, Senator Boxer.

[miyazaki]

34. Fiorina 161 was a planet infected with lice.

saw it on Alien 3. Just saying.

[SuperTrouper]

35. LOL!!!!!!!!! Is that the movie where Sigourney Weaver "Ripley" commits suicide

lovingly holding little Alien while she falls into the fire?

[spanone]

36. carly, the insufferable twit

[livetohike]

37. Apparently she doesn't know what to do with herself

Get out the popcorn, this will be fun to watch.

[southern_dem]

39. Carly "I ruined HP" Fiorina?

Yeah, we need her in the Senate... :eyes:

[4lbs]

40. Fiorina would lose badly. Boxer is well loved in CA.

She beat Republican Bill Jones in 2004 by 20 points and got the most votes in CA in history for U.S. Senate.

In 1998, Boxer defeated Republican Matt Fong by 10 points, when times were good, and Fong was popular.

[Lyric]

41. ROFL

Please do, Carly. It'll be nice to watch you singlehandedly slam the final nail into the coffin of your career.

[ej510]

42. Boxer would receive 80% of the vote.

:evilgrin: :bounce: :toast: :rofl:

[IndianaGreen]

43. Looking forward to Barbara trouncing Carly

She frak up her job at HP and got a nice bonus for it.

[fujiyama]

44. I'd love to see Carly campaign in the bay area!

HAHA, is this the best they can come up with?

Now, what's the deal with the governor's seat? Can Dems take that back? Whitmann....Yechhh

[Egnever]

45. LOL good luck with that

By all means please piss some republican money down the drain.

[Danger Mouse]

46. Good. I'd enjoy watching that idiot get creamed in an election.

She makes me ill.

[Rectangle]

47. Why does Carly want to get the Ever-Living Snot beat out of her??

I dont understand? :shrug:

[zulchzulu]

48. I'd love to see Carly piss money away and get her ass kicked by Barbara

Piss it away, Carly. It's karma time.
