It’s a cat fight!
A new Field Poll found that 47 percent of likely voters support Boxer, with 44 percent saying they prefer Fiorina and 9 percent either undecided or supporting other candidates, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Fiorina’s campaign had this response “Today’s Field Poll results prove that California voters are ready to fire Barbara Boxer. Her 52 percent unfavorable rating confirms voters have not been fooled by Barbara Boxer’s empty Election Year rhetoric about non-existent job creation when they are staring 12.4 percent unemployment in the face. This poll underscores the fact that California voters are unhappy with Barbara Boxer’s job performance and are ready to show her the door this November.”
It is funny that Fiorina keeps harping about jobs. “Ms. Fiorina is an expert on cutting back, having cut 30,000 jobs when she was CEO of Hewlett-Packard, many of which were outsourced,” according to the Huffington Post.
Boxer also has a wide margin of support among Latino voters (55 percent to 32 percent), as compared to her fellow Democrat, Jerry Brown, who only has an 11% lead amongst Latino voters, as compared to Meg Whitman.
Women prefer Boxer – and they also prefer Brown. I think that is due to the pro-choice issue. Voters don’t trust Fiorina on that issue, even though she is supposedly pro-choice.
I think Boxer has a better shot at beating Fiorina than Brown does at beating Whitman. She at least has her core constituencies lining up behind her. Brown, I think, is already in trouble.
And Boxer will have the money to be able to tell the voters all about Fiorina’s sketchy history at HP. It is telling, as the Huffington Post points out, that no company ever hired Fiorina again, after HP let her go.
Well Art, we all know how reliable the Huffington Post is – they don’t have an agenda of any kind.
Newbie,
If you search for the info online you will easily be able to verify the figures. Fiorina didn’t create jobs, she outsourced them to China and India!
Art,
Those figures came from the Boxer campaign – http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jun/29/fiorina-tax-breaks-are-best-way-to-create-jobs/
Fiorina says there were more jobs at HP when she left than when she started. The point is, numbers can always be manipulated to fit anyone’s argument. Boxer’s cap-and-tax will have a far greater negative impact on the American worker than anything Fiorina ever did at HP. Some estimate that over a million jobs in California alone will be lost due to AB 32, a poor-man’s version of the cap-and-tax monstrosity.
And yes, I do believe some jobs were lost and some were outsourced while Fiorina was at HP. But I believe Boxer has already done more harm to our state and nation than Fiorina ever did at HP, and even though I’m a knuckle-dragging Devore supporter, Fiorina will do less damage in the long haul as a Senator than the despicable Boxer.
Art & Newbie.
Years prior to NAFTA, which went into effect Jan 1,1994, I spoke in the plenary session of an international electronics conference in Dallas. In my presentation I included the pro’s and con’s of Machiladore manufacturing in Mexico.
My point. Due to global pressures American manufacturers have been exporting jobs long before “outsourcing” became a household term. Many of those Machiladore shops have been replaced by even lower labor rates available in southeast Asian countries such as China, India and even Vietnam.
Call it survival or exploitation. Its a fact of life.
At that conference I had a discussion with a mid level government official from India in which I addressed Asia’s sweatshop labor. His response was that they do not look at our outsourcing as exploitation. He replied that we have created jobs in their country that previously never existed, regardles of the lower wages received, they could at least have a way out of poverty.
By the way. This computer and printer bear the name HP.
Have you purchased any major appliances lately, including big screen TV’s?
Where are they manufactured? Not in greater Detroit or Chicago.
Note. Korea’s Gold Star changed to LG Electronics. No relation to myself
Larry,
True, but remember that the HP acquisition of Compaq was a disaster – and yes that was Carly’s idea.
huffington post , media matters , the daily kooks , mshatebc , and telemundo where that clown last night jorge ramos did not anwser one question that was asked to him about the a.z law . these are the sources he gets his info from . all good nice sites for FAR LEFT INFO ..
great one,
Lookt it up. The layoffs and outsourcing happened on Carly’s watch.
Fiorina is unqualified.
sunny.
Fiorina qualifications? As she is not an elected official, unless you have a crystal ball, I would love to see your proof.
On the other hand Barbara Boxer has demonstrated why she needs to go. That’s the other edge of the incumbent’s sword. Your voting record.
I’ll take Fiona over that loser Boxer anyday. Boxer has done nothing good for this state and treats the military with disrespect. She needs to GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hopefully in nov we can kick this total loser boxer out of here .. i agree with sta18 this loser is anti military
