The ex-CEO (1999-2005) of HP was interviewed on NPR's KPCC today. She's a well-spoken pol who speaks with forked tongue.
She talks about creating jobs in California, and how the rules should be weakened, but fails to mention her sending HP jobs to Oregon, and then to Communist China.
She's against the Public Option, but admits she doesn't know what she would have done in her bout with breast cancer, save for her husband's insurance from his employer, AT&T.
If ever I had the urge to call in, this was one of those.
Now, if we could just get Boxer to link anchor babies to the damage to the environment, she would be good.

i keep confusing carly with meg whitman. Which is not good because other people will too, and one persons negatives will be confused with the other.
The one thing I like about the two are that i feel they are the best the repubs have to offer, but lets see what the teabaggers bring to shoot them down.

I don't like Boxer at all but I truly despise Fiorina who exemplifies everything that is wrong with the executive class in our country.
Fiorina(aka: the wrecking ball as her associates call her) has a lot of baggage that the Dems can use against her starting with that asinine comment that Americans have no right to a job(said during the McCain campaign) which is going to go over like a lead balloon in a state where the unemployment is over 15%.
Personally she ought to be put in prison for wrecking HP which was one of the high tech crown jewels of the U.S. She was also part of executive group at Lucent than wrecked that company as well.
She was also named as one of the worst 20 CEO's EVER!! by Portfolio magazine. Quite a accomplishment.
In a nutshell she has a corporate track record that makes Bush42 look like a business genius.
If I was Boxer all I would need to do is run ads showing how she destroyed tens of thousands of well paid jobs here in the U.S. and was fired for being incompetent and play that sound bite of her's where she states 'Americans have no right to a job'. That last one will really piss folks off.
In short it will be very easy for the Dems to paint her as a heartless and out of touch rich bitch in the mold of Leona Helmsely.
Why the GOP decided to run such a kleptocratic thug like her is beyond me.

Thanks, Walt; I didn't know all that about her.
There is a guy running against her in the primary, so she may be just a belch in a hurricane.
