Fiorina officially announces Senate candidacy
Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina officially has announced her candidacy for U.S. Senate after months of speculation.

Fiorina will run as a Republican against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) The ex-Silicon Valley executive's entrance into the campaign means that she will face conservative state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R) in a June primary. The contest could set up another contentious GOP primary contest between a candidate favored by the base (DeVore) versus a candidate backed by the party establishment (Fiorina).

Fiorina, who served as a top adviser on Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) 2008 presidential campaign, announced her candidacy in an Orange County Register op-ed today. In it, she addressed concerns over unemployment and "too much spending in Washington."

She also took on the healthcare reform debate in Washington writing that "we should build on what works" instead of "remaking the entire healthcare system.

2. My BiL's head is now exploding
Works for HP, hates Fiorina with a passion. He's also a conservative, McCain/Palin loving teabagger. :rofl:
