Carly for California?

A response to a California correspondent (who says she prefers Devore to Fiorina):
If I were a betting man, I'd have guessed that this is where you'd come down. It's your back yard, so I can only watch and hope from a distance.
I think they're both impressive in this Hannity debate:
My two cents:
I can't believe anyone would go for Campbell, who's lost races for Senate twice. If so, we could dig up Harold Stassen for your primary voters.
I'd probably like Devore (though his mailings are such hackneyed direct mail tripe that I can't bear to read them), and after reading the article from WSJ magazine (that came with yesterday's issue), I sense that there are parts of Carly that are less than perfect.*
BUT, your state is now heavily dem, and we can only reminisce fondly of the days when Hayakawa and Murphy were Senators backing up Governor Reagan.
I think it's dangerous for Republicans to hope for another Scott Brown upset in any blue state. IMHO "angry" swing voters will determine elections mostly in purple states.
I think under those circumstances Fiorina is the only real chance to drive Boxer from office. And if she spends millions of her own money, thank God for it.
* Re her H-P record: I'm a Mac person and only care about their printers. But as for the stock price during her tenure, everyone got pummeled after the 2000 meltdown. I don't even want to figure out how much I lost on Sun micro.
