Journal gd2shoe's Journal: Carly Fiorina interview re. her bid for US Senate 2
For those who don't know, Carly Fiorina (former CEO of HP) has thrown her hat in the ring for US Senate. Some see her as the current GOP front-runner. The very popular Northern California radio hosts Armstrong and Getty just had her on-air for a phone interview (podcast, 2nd hour). The interview went fairly well in her favor. She had all the right talking points. She spoke about ousting career politicians, getting regular citizens into office (such as herself) , cutting spending, and supporting small businesses (an endangered species in CA).
Those who have an opinion about her candidacy may write Jack and Joe at ArmstrongAndGetty@Yahoo.com. Their words (and therefore opinions) reach a lot of ears in Sacramento (some important), so what they say will have a minor (but very real) impact in this race. Since they encourage email from their listeners, they receive a large amount of mail on a wide variety of topics. It will take more than a single email from one person for them to really take notice. I bring this up because they will likely have her on again at some point, and they are willing to ask questions they perceive as hard questions. (This interview was fairly pedestrian; they will bring up controversy if they believe any exists.)
It's hard to see... (Score:1)
...Carly beating Boxer, as the former didn't do all that well for HP IIRC, and the latter is a deep blue state's dream senator.
Re: (Score:2)
Yeah, it's hard to see. On the other hand, I've heard several times that Boxer is becoming vulnerable. At a minimum, it seems the CA Republican party is focusing on replacing her. If anybody does, I just hope it's not Fiorina. Now is the only chance to influence the ballot to try to keep it from being Boxer v. Fiorina. (I don't want either of them in power.)
Beyond that, I didn't want anybody shocked and appalled if it actually happened. Just doing what I can to keep people forewarned.
