rssA Fiorina Opportunity in California?

California Republican Chuck DeVore’s aggressive strategy to be seen by conservative activists as a RINO-slaying hero seemed to get a boost today when former Rep. Tom Campbell (R-Calif.), whose run for governor had been flagging, switched over to the Senate primary. It was certainly a vote of no-confidence in Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and GOP Senate candidate who announced this week that she had $2.7 million in the bank for her first-ever electoral bid. But I’d expect the Fiorina camp to try and box out both candidates by attacking the 2005 California budget. DeVore, a California assemblyman, voted for it. As Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s (R-Calif.) finance director, Campbell helped muscle it through. So the events of today make Fiorina the only female candidate in the race, the best-funded, and the only one not tainted by GOP decisions of the past–probably a better position than she had on Monday.

A campaign attacking the 2005 California budget would certainly earn a vote of no-confidence, particularly from the only candidate in the race who didn't vote at all most of the time before or after 2005.

Carly Fiorina is also the only candidate in the race who was fired after nearly destroying a major corporation. See how “tainted” Carly is by her disastrous track record and read what HP employees and stockholder have to say about her at http://www.carly-fiorina.com
