Can Boxer Beat Carly Fiorina? *Carly Fiorina to announce run for U.S. Senate* LA Times.

Carly Fiorina to announce run for U.S. Senate

November 4, 2009 | 8:06 am
Former Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Carly Fiorina will formally announce her run for the U.S. Senate this morning at a news conference in Garden Grove.

“Throughout my career I've brought people together, and I've solved problems,” Fiorina said in a statement. “And that is what is needed in our government today. People who are willing to set aside ego and partisanship and instead work to develop solutions to our problems. … As California's senator, economic recovery and fiscal accountability will be my priorities.”

Fiorina will face off against Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Irvine) for the Republican nomination. The GOP candidate would compete against incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is seeking a fourth term.

“I look forward to engaging Carly Fiorina on the issues Californians care about: out-of-control federal debt, soaring government spending on bailouts and stimulus, a pending government takeover of healthcare, and Barbara Boxer's huge energy-tax increase disguised as cap-and-trade," DeVore said in a statement.

5. "No American has a God-given right to a job" said C. Fiorina aUpdated at 9:20 PM
slight couple of years back on a Charlie Rose Show.

C. Rose was interviewing her as CEO of HP. The subject of
outsourcing and sending American Jobs to other countries.
Apparently in Free Trade Mode she emphatically stated:
"No American has a God-given right to a job." If not exact
quote so close, you can hardly detect the difference.

It is just this mentality that has put us in the sad
state of affairs today with job losses coming out of our ears.

In spite of everything, she keeps trying to find something she's good at, bless her heart.
