carlywins CA Sen: Carly Fiorina Wins Republican Nomination for United States Senate

The AP has called the race for Carly Fiorina.

Election results can be found here
at the California Secretary of State’s office web site. And, I will have more on the race tomorrow.

The statement from Carly:

U.S.
Senate candidate Carly Fiorina tonight issued the following statement
thanking her supporters for their contribution to her Election Night
victory and pledging to hold Barbara Boxer accountable for her 34-year
career of partisanship and failed leadership:




“I am honored and humbled to have earned the opportunity to serve as
the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate. I extend my sincerest gratitude
and thanks to the supporters and volunteers on my campaign team who
helped carry this campaign to victory.




“California is a great state, but it is a state in great distress.
Californians have had enough of a government that is out of control,
out of touch and addresses every problem with more bureaucracy and more
spending. For 28 long years in Washington, Barbara Boxer has led our
state and our nation down a path toward higher taxes, greater
regulation and less economic growth. But this year, we have a unique
opportunity to defeat her so that we can take our government in a
different direction.




“For 34 years, at the taxpayer’s expense, Barbara Boxer has been a
bitter partisan who has said much but achieved little. She gets an ‘A’
for politics and an ‘F’ for achievement. This fall, she will have to
answer to the people of California for her failure to stand up for our
state. Together, we will replace Boxer, take Washington back, make it
listen and make it work.”


Stay tuned as this race against Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer will be personal, nasty and expensive.

  • In mid-February 2008, fresh from winning a bunch of Super Tuesday primaries, Barack Obama granted an interview to "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Croft. "When you sit down and you look at [your] resume," Croft said to Obama, "there's no executive experience, and in fact, correct if I'm wrong, the only thing that you've actually run was the Harvard Law Review."

    "Well, I've run my Senate office, and I've run this campaign," Obama said.

    Seven months later, after receiving the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama talked with CNN's Anderson Cooper. At the time, the news was dominated by Hurricane Gustav, which was headed toward New Orleans and threatening to become a Katrina-like disaster. "Some of your Republican critics have said you don't have the experience to handle a situation like this," Cooper said to Obama. "They in fact have said that Governor Palin has more executive experience. …"
    ++++++++
    You think? A one term Presidency on the horizon.

  • We've spent a lot of time and, well, energy warning against costly carbon controls, yet we must admit the fruits of our earnest labors pale in comparison to those of Senator Barbara Boxer. That's odd because Boxer is an avowed environmentalist and chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Her honest job description might be, "To pass the most annoying, burdensome legislation possible."

    However, it's hard to argue with the lady's results. Her resolute leadership has torpedoed two major climate bills — so far. While we continue to disagree with Boxer vehemently, her record of unmitigated failure is a "platform" around which we can rally.
    ++++++
    Kind of backhanded, no?

  • In California's Senate race, former Rep. Tom Campbell (R) has been making a similar electability appeal, noting that his moderate credentials and experience running statewide — he was the losing GOP nominee for Senate in 1992 and 2000 — make him the best choice to take on Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) this fall.

    "Both of my two primary opponents lose to Senator Boxer — one loses by six and the other by 10," Campbell said recently. "If we wish to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer — and I surely do — we've got to focus on this historic opportunity to do so."

    Primary voters don't agree. In a Field poll released over the weekend, former Hewlett Packard executive Carly Fiorina led Campbell 37 percent to 22 percent with conservative state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore clocking in with 19 percent.

    Unless something major changes in the final 24 hours of the campaigns, it's a near-certainty that Tarkanian and Campbell will add their names to the list of candidates who relied on electability and lost.

  • Republicans have long contended that Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer is too liberal even for California. Yet the challenges never seem to gel.

    This year, however, polls show Boxer is uniquely vulnerable, and her GOP opponents appear to be within striking distance.

    Leading the Republican pack is Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, who has spent close to $7 million already. Fiorina leads former Rep. Tom Campbell by 15 percentage points in the latest California Field Poll, with Assemblyman Chuck DeVore in third place with 19 percent.

    If Fiorina takes the nomination, Boxer will get an opponent like no other she’s faced before — a deep-pocketed female challenger who commands the spotlight. And with two strong personalities in a mega-state like California, this race will be nasty, brutish and expensive.
    ++++++++
    An interesting election night on the West Coast and Nevada.

  • As voters head to the polls Tuesday for a crucial set of primary elections, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds antipathy toward their elected officials rising and anti-incumbent sentiment at an all-time high.

    The national survey shows that 29 percent of Americans now say they are inclined to support their House representative in November, even lower than in 1994, when voters swept the Democrats out of power in the that chamber after 40 years in the majority.

    The poll also finds growing disapproval of the "tea party" movement, with half the population now expressing an unfavorable impression of the loosely aligned protest campaign that has shaken up politics this year.
    +++++++++
    More mainstream voters will reject Tea Party extremists as conservative candidates win office

Unless something weird has happened in the polling models, it looks like Carly Fiorina will sail to victory tonight.

The California polls close at 8 PM Pacific time and some absentee ballot counts will be announced at this time. Then, as usual, it will be a few hours as the various counties report vote tallys to the California Secretary of State. The results can be found here. But, be prepared for the website to crash.

I’ll be tweeting up and commenting election results. You may follow me directly or read the tweets in the right sidebar ——–>

Day By Day by Chris Muir

Chris, by the time President Obama is wet behind the ears and experienced enough to lead America, it will be time to vote him out of office. Am I suggesting that Obama will be a one term President?

Yes, I am.

The economy alone will sink the Democrat Party this November as they will lose their super majorities in the Congress and as statehouses turn more red.

Without Bush to blame, the Emperor has no clothes.
