| Carly Fiorina is a noted failure in such fields as business, citizenship and spying. According to Shane Goldmacher, she's now going to give politics the ol' college try and has formed an exploratory committee for the 2010 Senate campaign against Barbara Boxer.
While one poll had Fiorina as close as 4 points, it seems to be the outlier as the bulk of the polling shows Boxer with a double digit lead. The most recent poll, a Daily Kos/R2K poll has Boxer up 52-31.
That is not to say that this will be an easy fight for Sen. Boxer, as Fiorina can come at her with wads of self-infused cash. So, she will still need plenty of support. And plus, Fiorina has a ton of experience in planting bugs and tapping phones. So, we'll have to use the super decoder rings to talk about the campaign amongst us Democrats.
You can find Sen. Boxer on the Calitics ActBlue Page.
UPDATE: The SJ Merc has a story on the race. It's more blather about how Fiorina is going to give a tough race. But for another perspective, check out Josh Treviño's tweets. Treviño, a conservative blogger and strategist, is a huuuuge Chuck DeVore fan, and seems rather pissed that Sen. Cornyn and the NRSC pushed Fiorina into the race. My favorite tweet:
This always bears repeating: Carly Fiorina was the only person fired by the '08 McCain campaign for incompetence. Think about that.9 minutes ago from TweetDeck |
