Fiorina 'seriously considering' Senate race next year

By Frank Davies

WASHINGTON — In the strongest signal yet of her political ambitions, Carly Fiorina said Tuesday she is "seriously considering" challenging Sen. Barbara Boxer in next year's California Senate race.

Fiorina, who had surgery for breast cancer a month ago, said she is about to begin chemotherapy treatment at Stanford Hospital, but then plans to resume a busy schedule.

The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, 54, was a highly visible supporter and economic adviser to Republican John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign.

Fiorina was in Washington to discuss tech issues in her new position as chair of the board of the Technology Policy Institute, a small, nonpartisan think tank.

Asked if her new post meant she was forgoing plans for a political race, Fiorina said, "I'm seriously considering a race in California," and said Boxer's Senate seat was the contest she was weighing. She said of the think tank post, "I do not consider this a full-time job."

3. That race will be all net for Boxer. Fiorina the chihuahua taking on Boxer the leopard.
In a race against a hapless fool like Fiorina, I imagine Barbara Boxer would carry the Bay Area by upwards of 85%. You Bay Area folks -- is that too high a percentage?

Someone more current with the Field Poll findings over the years could settle my arithmetic, but I believe that Boxer would destroy Carly Fiorina.

4. Why doesn't she run against DiFi?
That would be a battle in which I wouldn't CARE about the outcome.

Unless there was a TRUE progressive in the race, that is.

Funny how it can be justified giving so much to FAILURES at their jobs just because they control the chain of command...
