Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina: Will Money Talk in California Republican Primary?
By Lou Cannon - Politics DailyAfter the most expensive primary campaign in history, Republican voters in California appear poised to choose two wealthy female former Silicon Valley executives, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina, as their nominees for governor and U.S. senator. Californians will also be voting on whether to alter the state's semi-closed primary system. Proposition 14, the "good government" change that would replace the party primary system with one where the top two vote-getters regardless of political affiliation would get on the November ballot, is leading in the polls by nearly 2-1. "The governor and ...

Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, is the leading candidate in the California Republican Senate primary and is expected to beat former Rep. Tom Campbell and state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore in next week's election. (This week, Campbell pulled his television ads.) So ...
California's Tom Campbell: GOP Senate Candidate Who Defies Easy Labeling
By Patrick Dillon - Politics DailyIn an era of expedient political branding, California's Tom Campbell, a Republican candidate aiming to win Barbara Boxer's U.S. Senate seat, defies labeling. A free-market economist who advocates breaking up big banks, a social liberal with conservative views on immigration, an opponent of the nation's recently passed national health care legislation, he supports repealing the federal antitrust exemption for insurance companies. In polls, Campbell, 57, trails former Hewlett Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina for the nomination but, unlike Fiorina, leads Boxer in a hypothetical matchup. ...

Sarah Palin Endorses Carly Fiorina for California Senate
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyRepublican Carly Fiorina scored a coup Thursday when Sarah Palin endorsed her for the GOP Senate nomination in California. In doing so, Palin bypassed state assemblyman Chuck DeVore, a favorite of conservatives such as Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina. In a statement circulated by Fiorina, Palin praised the former Hewlett-Packard CEO as a "commonsense conservative" with the potential to beat the longtime Democratic incumbent, Barbara Boxer. Palin said she is "a huge proponent" of contested primaries, but supports Fiorina "as she fights through a tough primary against a liberal member of the ...
