After former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina clobbered her opponents in California's Republican primary race for Senate Tuesday night, it didn't take long for the fight to heat up between the newly-minted GOP nominee and Democratic incumbent Sen. Barbara Boxer.

As Fiorina took to the podium to address supporters when the primary race was called, the Senate hopeful used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to fire off a string of attacks against her Democratic opponent.

"In her 28 years as a career politician, Barbara Boxer is a bitter partisan who has said much but done little," Fiorina said in accepting California's Republican Senate nomination. "She gets an A in politics, but she gets an F in achievement."

The former HP CEO went on to blast Boxer as being on "the very fringe of American politics" and embodying a "destructive elitism."


So Senator Boxer decided to start off setting the facts straight, and she does an amazing job. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/09/carly-fiorina-senate-camp_n_605958.html

3. O my, but she has been at this for longer than H.P. Great link...

Fiorina was by then a seasoned AT&T and Lucent Technologies executive who had been named the most powerful woman in business by Fortune magazine. As she marched into HP wielding a mandate for top-down change, her quest to streamline the sprawling, egalitarian company was complicated by her rock star persona and a case of bad timing.

9. I'm really surprised this isn't getting rec'd more.

Very effective ad. I think they could have said a little more, but very effective. I think DU should be more supportive of efficient ways of fighting back against a Laissez-Failure like Failorina, who once said "No job is America's God-Given right anymore". We cannot afford to have worker-hater Corptocracy water-carriers like Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina in power. Their rhetoric needs to be relegated to the dustbin and locked up for good. Equal societies perform far better in the long term.

11. Well said. "Equal societies perform far better in the long term."
