Fiorina Plays Gender Card

Boxer versus white man

Senate candidate Cary Fiorina has made it clear who wears the pants in her Senate Republican Primary – Chuck DeVore.  Fiorina told the American Spectator that she can beat Barbara Boxer because Boxer knows how to win against “white men”.  “With all due respect and deep affection for white men — I’m married to one — but [Boxer] knows how to beat them,” said Fiorina.  In an red meat appeal to social conservatives, she identified herself as pro-life, announced her support for Proposition 8’s ban on same sex marriage, and declared “I share Sarah Palin’s values.”

Fiorina appears to be furiously paddling hard right in an effort to put some space between her and Chuck DeVore (her “white man” opponent).  Her newly discovered opposition to bailouts and the “stimulus” program appears to be a flip-flop on her previous support for those policies.  While Fiorina denies she is concerned that polls show DeVore within a point of her, she looks desperate now that she’s played the gender card.

    You mean the opposite, don’t you? Nobody was more pro-Prop 8 than “Our Chuckie.” In his telling, to allow gay marriage to continue to be legal would lead inevitably to mothers marrying sons, groups of three or more marrying, and humans marrying animals. Thank GOD our Chuckie helped stop all that!

    When I say space I’m referring to space in their poll numbers, not their positions.

    The more Fiorina panders to the far right, the more she is going to lose! I openly said this on her facebook page.

    Carly should not try to pander for votes because she will lose the centrist Republicans and the liberal Republicans as well. Be yourself, people respect people who are honest about their convictions.

    She is repeating the same mistakes of Matt Fong in 1998. And she is going to get slapped hard from the voters for this.

    Boxer’s traditional (winning) campaign commercial has two planks – (a) “protecting a woman’s right to choose” and (b) “protecting the environment”. Fiorina just put herself in the cross-hairs of that commercial.

    Her “I’m Sarah Palin, not Dede Scozzafava” move does little to help her with centrists (who care more about fiscal responsibility than social issues). One wonders whether she is trying to force DeVore farther right. Nevertheless, I think her poll numbers reflect her soft fiscal credentials more so than softness on social issues. And, playing the gender card was misguided and weak.
