    CA-Sen: Carly Fiorina Endorsed By Another Conservative Republican United States Senator – James Inhofe

    Californian Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina holds a roundtable discussions with reporters in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009

    Chalk up another Republican United States Senator endorsement for California U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina.

    From the Press Release:

    Citing her strong leadership skills, tested business acumen and common-sense approach to politics, U.S. Senator James W (actually his middle initial is M). Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) today enthusiastically endorsed Carly Fiorina’s campaign for U.S. Senate.

    “I am honored to receive the support of Senator Inhofe, a dedicated public servant who has spent years defending the principles of limited government, individual freedom and personal responsibility. These are beliefs I’ve held for years, and I look forward to working with Senator Inhofe to create jobs and bring fiscal accountability back to Washington,” said Fiorina. “Over the last 18 years, Barbara Boxer has failed to stand up for California’s families, businesses and communities. Especially given these difficult economic times, Californians need a true advocate representing them in the United States Senate.”

    Inhofe, who was recently voted “Most Outstanding Conservative U.S. Senator” by Human Events Newspaper and the American Conservative Union, said, “Carly Fiorina is a true fiscal conservative who has made controlling our federal deficit one of her top priorities. Her common-sense approach and sharp business skills make her exactly the kind of leader we need in the U.S. Senate to help address our ballooning deficit and get our nation’s economy back on track.”

    Earlier this month, Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine), Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Senator Jon Kyl (R-Arizona), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) endorsed Fiorina’s bid for U.S. Senate.

    From Flap’s count this now makes nine.

    And, although Fiorina’s views on climate change and federal enviromental policy differ from Inhofe’s, it is noteworthy that he endorsed her candidacy over Assemblyman Chuck DeVore anyway.

    Here is a video clip of Fiorina talking about climate change and energy policy.
