Campaign 2010

Conflicted here. Would love to see Boxer on the rug beating line, but Fiorina is also the person who destroyed HP as a true innovator, and before she left, most of HP's profits came from ink. FROM INK!!!!!!!!!!! 

HP had a plant and tech support in town.  both now long gone.  something like 15k jobs lost... thats atleast 15k people that will not vote for her.

Don't laugh, have you priced HP ink cartridges ?
The ones I've needed for almost a year are $50 each.
No, I'm NOT going to pay that.

What really honks me off is that HP seems to have drunk deep of her kool-aid, and the cartridges got smaller while the price per ml went up. I had one printer that used 19ml cartridges - the black ones were about $22. The printer eventually gave up the ghost after a long time, and the new one uses cartridges that are 5ml - at $16 a pop.

I now order from cartridge pros online, they have the higher capacity cartridges.

It would have to be better because the newbie would not have the seniority that Babs has so she would get crap committee assignments. At the absolute worst it's a different name to curse.

Not neccessarily.  I seem to remember seeing Stewart Smalley during the Judicial Committee hearings on Sotomayor.

But it will be years, maybe decades, before he Chairs anything, and that is where the power is in Committees.

Its true, plus he just got that post as an FU to the GOP for dragging the election out so long. Fiorina is not well liked in the GOP. McCain floated her as a possible VP and it went over about as well as Harriet Meyers. I doubt she will weild much power. If she wins they will give her something that will let her send pork back home. Plus, every time my stepdad talked to HP tech support he would get a report on the weather in Mumbai. Those were well paying jobs that used to be in cali. There are a lot of moderate GOP tech folks out there who will ding her just for that. One of these days the GOP will pick a good candidate. I don't think she's it.
