Bad business. HP's stock rose on the day the board kicked her out and HP is still suffering from the effects. Fiorina has a marketing background, and does that ever show.

But she did make out very nicely for herself. And now she wants a bigger train set to play with?

Especially when the "boss" gets fired yet is given over $20 million in severance pay. How Republicans can praise such a crime is beyond me and only makes them look anti-American worker.

Default dismal outlook

"Ca. doesn't look too promising for them though, does it?"

Correct! CA certainly doesn't look too promising for the electorate.

CA has become the west coast's Newark, NJ where generations of democratic control have destroyed the economy and quality of life. The frustration of the voters is that endless taxpayer money brings no positive return, bizzare politics and chronic support of Pelosi, Boxer and Stark.

I guess you don't realize how wealthy Boxer is - did she get that wealth while in the Senate?

4 points - What expanded lead?

RealClearPolitics - Election 2010 - California Senate - Boxer vs. Fiorina

A democrat in bluer than blue California should be up by 15 points.

Since when do federal representatives have any control over state governance? Did you forget that states have separate assembly and senate representatives? Did you pass 4th grade? Sorry but you reveal an ignorance that seems to be endemic to Republicans. The current governor and 4 of the last 7 governors in California have been Republicans including Ronald Reagan who still holds the record of raising the highest taxes of any California governor.

Maybe you ought to stick with New Jersey if you can handle that. BTW, California has absolutely noting in common with Newark New Jersey.

This is kind of a shock, if true.

Not sure if I believe it - Fiorina by 5.

If true, it would be just wonderful.

Unfortunately for you, it is the latest one. Let's see what other polls say in the near future.

When Boxer was ahead by 5, it was a shocker. In reality, she should be walking away with the race.
