I hear Carly Fiorina wants to run against Barbara Boxer for the junior Senate seat here in California. This is probably the wrong choice for her. Boxer is the most liberal of our two Jewish lady Senators. She is the younger of the two and also has the least political baggage. She does pretty well with Hispanic voters. A lot of them are convinced she is Hispanic. Hell, for all I know, she may have some Hispanic roots. There's a shitload of Mexican Jews. Carly would be better off running for Governor. Arnold doesn't have a likely protege, nor is there a strong Democratic candidate on deck. Californians like to elect Republican Governors. They do it all the time and they don't require them to be very smart or have good people skills. Carly fits the bill totally.
The other thing Carly should consider is a run against Diane Feinstein, our other Senator, in a few years. Diane is getting close to eighty. I think she could be pretty vulnerable, especially since she is conservative, for a Democrat, with strong neocon leanings. Like Joe Lieberman but with a bigger vagina. A lot of her support comes from crossover, fiscally conservative Republicans, who can read and write at higher than a fourth grade level. If Carly played it smart, she could cut a lot of that support out from under DiFi, maybe even beat her. It's still a stretch. I honestly don't think she could get elected dogcatcher in this State
Carly and the Hivehead Madonna hate each other and the 'necks know it. No help there. No way the Wing nut vote is going to get excited about Carly, unless she comes out strongly anti abortion and big time homophobe and if she does that, she can't win with the majority of the Californians she really needs. It'll be two, "let's make abortion rare and my best friends are Gay" girls, going head to head and that's a non starter for the redneck, fundamentalist, birther crowd. Carly won't even get a cultural boost 'cuz the 'necks love Jews. Can't get enough of 'em.
Maybe Carly should buy a cowboy hat and move to Arizona, like the rest of the constipated, rich, White flighters. She's a good friend of John and Cindy. She could buy a ranch in Sedona, chew some peyote and go for John's seat when he dies. She shouldn't have to wait long.

Interesting analysis. Every time that a Republican congressional seat in CA goes Democratic for the first time, the pubbies don't have a hope to ever win that seat back.
The consuming class has now realized that they can vote themselves free health care and other benefits from the producing class. It is the death of the Republic.
