    Carly Fiorina Begins Fundraising for 2010 U.S. Senate Race

    November 1, 2009 /

    Looks like the GOP Senate Caucus (conservatives and moderates alike) will be helping Carly Fiorina raise funds for an upcoming campaign against incumbent Democrat California U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer.

    First, Fiorina will have to get past California Assemblyman Chcuk DeVore who has been moaning lately that the GOP party establishment has been unfairly supporting Fiorina over his cash-starved year long fledgling campaign.

    But, with less than $ 60K on hand to spend on a campaign can DeVore even be considered serious or viable?

    Here are the details of the fundraiser.

    Fiorina will be feted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) — among other GOP senators — along with big-name GOP lobbyists Charlie Black and Fred Malek at the $500/person soiree at Bistro Bis on November 17.

    Notably absent from the list of GOP Senate guests on the invitation is Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Cornyn has been criticized by conservative activists for supporting Fiorina even as a more-conservative Republican candidate, state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, is running.

    Flap has it on good authority that Carly Fiorina will announce her candidacy this week and fundraising will be in full swing by this November 17th event. An online fundraising push will soon follow.

    Fiorina will probably need to raise anywhere from $six to ten million to run a credible television media campaign in California.

    Video: California U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer Runs Away From Questions on Afghanistan War – Updated

    Senator Boxer as she retreated DID say no more troops but who knows what she meant? As Carly Fiorina gets ready to announce her candidacy this week, Boxer will likely be called on to explain what she meant.

    Patriot Axiom tracked down Senator Boxer on the streets of Oakland and asked some very simple questions.

    Senator Boxer can run but she cannot hide. With Carly Fiorina ready to announce her candidacy against Boxer next week, the Senator will have to answer about her less than mediocre record for California in the U.S. Senate.

    If Sen. Barbara Boxer, California Democrat, is successful in passing her bill to reduce carbon emissions, commonly called cap and trade, it would only be the fourth bill she’s championed that’s signed into law during her three terms as a U.S. senator.

    When Mrs. Boxer, joined by former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, brought their 821-page Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act to the floor Wednesday, critics noted that only three of the nearly 400 bills she has sponsored have ever been passed.

    Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in an e-mail that Mrs. Boxer’s record could be summed up in three words: “Ineffective, polarizing and partisan.”

    Mr. Walsh, looking ahead to that cycle, also said, “While her colleague Sen. [Dianne] Feinstein has had four times as many bills signed into law, Boxer has been content berating decorated generals and serving as the darling for the radical left. When you consider the many serious issues facing California right now, including the current fiscal crisis, you can bet Boxer’s ineffective and partisan record will be a central issue in her re-election bid next year.”

    Indeed, Senator Boxer’s Senate record is fairly dismal – no matter how you count the tally.

    Maybe this is the REAL reason why the Senator is running away.

    Let’s face it, Chris. American voters were tired of the Presidency of George W. Bush, the corrupt Republicans in Congress and conveniently overlooked a novice, yet Chicagoland typical POL who could deliver a great speech.

    Now, when difficult decisons, where President Obama WILL be held accountable, Obama dithers and defers – voting PRESENT as it is.

    Then, there are Obama’s pronouncements and policy statements which he changes as convenient and all contain expiration dates.

    Voters are unhappy and this Tuesday’s elections will be the first referendum on the Obama Presidency.

    I don’t expect the election results to bolster Obama’s popularity.
