| #11 I more than most have suffered under Babs Boxer's tenure. But Carly aint bringing her down. I really truly wish we had someone that could. Maybe if she had a personaity makeover carly coudl take her? More than that it would take Jesus Christ running as a Republican to move some votes in that direction. |

| #10 Yes, and she'd be our clown ... There's that way of looking at it. But she's pissed a lot of people off. Also, at some point Republicans have to learn that they need to do better than the likes of John McCain or Carly Fiorina. Here's what pissed me off: instead of attempting to bring HP up to snuff in the personal computer market, she bought Compaq. Instead of attempting to compete she bought the competition. Then she laid off thousands of workers in both companies. It was no sweat to her. She got her $21 million. And it was all perfectly legal (well, maybe, if you don't look too close at the pretexting scandal). But if that's her brand of capitalism I'll vote for somebody else. |

| #7 Sounds like she's perfect for the Clown College then. |

| #6 Compaq used to make gr8 servers, before Fiorina. |

| #5 She nearly ruined HP, and some say she did! It's still realing from the effects of her tenure. |

| #4 Don't get your hopes up. I've seen Fiorina speak at computer conventions. She is so lackluster that I was actually embarrassed for her. Not to mention that she failed so miserably at HP that the Board of Directors paid her $21 million to leave. |

| #3 Dream on. This is Calfiornia, where Obama stickers are still proudly displayed, a $2 billion high speed train bond passed and over 60% of the legislature would keep raising taxes rather than slow the growth of expenditures. California isn't broke enough (yet). |

| #2 The more I see of the majority of Congress critters and Senators, the more I'm convinced , it's an easy way to keep the dangerous ones away from the neighborhood. So, it's no certainty she won't be re-elected. |

| #1 It'd have to be someone just as smart and canny as she is. Check the mental hospitals... |
