Both CA Republican candidates are behind in the polls during these last days of the campaign. Fiorina has lost ground to Boxer and Whitman is behind Jerry Brown. Of course it would be consistent with CA for dems to win this one and I could accept a Brown win, but Boxer?
All these campaign websites pretty much say the same thing: We are in a mess and this Candidate's experience and ideas will get us out. There is something they all agree on at least.
It is interesting how in both races there is a career politician (Democrat) up against a career businesswoman (Republican). In the business world there are measurable consequences, good or ill, for decisions that are made. That skill they have equips them to make the radical decisions that must be made in this state and nation. The Republicans' leadership potential can be measured by the success and operation of the companies they lead at one time: Ebay and Hewlett Packard. Not slouch companies. Boxer and Brown's success is much more difficult to measure. Boxer will be more of the same and that's not what we need. Brown might be alright, but he'll let stuff fly by his desk that the trigger happy legislature here comes up with. Whitman may be mean, but I think she'd put her foot down.
As always, it's not the end of the world if the "wrong side" wins. However, things would be nicer if the right side takes it this time.
