Fiorina: White Men Can't Beat Boxer
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 11:00 PM by ccharles000
U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina said at an American Spectator Newsmaker Breakfast this morning that her primary opponent, Chuck DeVore, could not beat Sen. Barbara Boxer in a general election because Boxer knows how to win against "white men."

Fiorina focused her opening remarks on contrasting herself with Boxer, who she painted as a liberal Democrat who has not accomplished much during her three terms in office and has advanced tax, spending, and regulatory policies that have crippled California's economy.

When asked what set her apart from DeVore, she said that they agreed on the issues, but that she wasn't a career politician and she had a better chance of beating Boxer.

"He is an honorable man," Fiorina said of DeVore. "He has every right to run. But he cannot beat Barbara Boxer."

She continued, "With all due respect and deep affection for white men -- I'm married to one -- but Boxer knows how to beat them. She's done it over and over and over."

Diane DeVore, Chuck's wife, responded on Twitter that, "Carly, I'm married to that 'white guy' & I can tell u he can win against mods and libs. Has record to prove it!"

2. I'll bet Barbara Boxer, my senator for many years, also knows how
to win against self-anointed GOP princesses. My money and my votes go to Barbara. Dear Carly, don't mess with the real women.

8. And she's the best white male opponent Boxer could possibly get!
Carly's record is pure gold in terms of what NOT to look for.

11. Senator Boxer is the best
I have never been let down by her. I will never forget how she went after Condi Rice during that confirmation hearing. Too bad more democrats don't have her spine. I don't care how old she is, someday I hope she runs for president.

13. Does anybody really think that Fiorina could beat Boxer?
I don't think so, Carly. California, as many on the right so sadly whine about, is a Democratic state, which means you'll probably lose. You have to be very moderate to get elected (and no such candidate will pass with the RNC) or a well-known person against an unpopular incumbent. You're neither of those, so you'll go down hard just like the others who have tried.

14. God, I hope not.
My votes for Boxer as a Californian are some of the few I've ever cast FOR a candidate, instead of against an opponent.

15. California's inevtible faling into the sea will be sooner realized under Fiorina.
There is very little difference between her and Geitner...whatever they do it always ends up failing

16. Carly is as delusional now as when she ran HP into the ground.
Not much has changed.

If Carly thinks she can get the women's vote she is sadly mistaken.
Her reputation precedes her and it is not a good one.
Carly will lose. Carly's millions will not buy her the CA senatorial seat.
