Fiorina vs Boxer: Neither Worth the Effort to Post This

This blog posted a comment at Maggie’s Notebook on the 4th predicting failure Fiorina would not oust Barbara Boxer for the US Senate. And imagine that, just today, Carly falls victim to the Meg Whitman syndrome. This is reminiscent of an old West Wing episode where Bartlett (Martin Sheen) comments he opposes people who seek public office because they ‘think it’s a good gig’.

For Whitman it may be a matter of pursuing another goal or challenge. For Fiorina, what does she have left? Conservatives do not need Republicans looking for a good gig any more than they need RINOs or liberals. If a candidate could not even find the time to vote through out most of their life what does that say about their chances for effective performance in public office? It probably says they will fit well in the culture of corruption but will not adhere to principles layed out in the founding documents of this great republic.

This great nation deserves better. Hey Carly, go help trash another iconic American business. You have plenty of experience from HP. Leave the governing to someone who at least votes.

The former head of Hewlett-Packard, who is running for the seat now held by Democrat Barbara Boxer, said she has no excuse for not voting more often when people have died for that right.
