CA: Garamendi wins, Fiorina getting in

Posted: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 9:19 AM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under:

In CA-10, John Garamendi won the special election there 55%-40% with 50% of precincts reporting last night. Garamendi doesn't live in the district. 

By the way, "After months of speculation but few  public appearances, former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly  Fiorina was expected to announce her plans Wednesday for the U.S. Senate seat held by liberal stalwart Barbara Boxer of California. Fiorina's campaign said she was to make 'a major announcement' during an appearance at a business in the Orange County city of Garden Grove Wednesday morning," the AP says.

Hopefully she will spend all of that windfall cash she got for tanking her company on the campaign...

and still lose.

That would be Karma
Tick Tock Tick Tock

Wake up call for Mr. Barack Obama!

No, not time to play golf, like ususal.

Time to act and become a leader who produces results.

Quit talking so much and make things happen.

This is truly only the beginning for the movement to eliminate the mistake of Biden/Obama 08.

No celebrating these victories, the wave will continue.

We can only hope that this will not be true on the national level. Can you imagine if the Republicans get another chance to bankrupt this country and succeed this time? Scary.
Would she run California further into the ground like she did HP? Speaking of California, how is that Republican Arnold doing for California? What a joke of a Governor!
The Republicans?  The Democrats have been in charge of the Congress (and thus the checkbook) for nearly three years now.  What do we see?  Rampany unemployment, massive debts, huge pressure on the dollar.

Go ahead, blame the Republicans.  It's okay.  Whatever gets you through until 2010 when the adults take the country back.
great but President Obama has the highest office and he our leader still if yo don't like it just leave you still can find room in those third world coutries but these races don't make National legislature but are respected but please stop mixing the two.

Yes Bill the adults that got us in 2 illegal wars, was asleep at the helm for Katrina, outed CIA officers, started the bank bailouts, total lack of diplomacy, giving fat cats tax cuts as well as so many other failings I don't have time to print them. The adults indeed.

Fiorina will run California like HP. I just hope the Dems have a better choice than last time. Arnold hasn't been too bad but we could have had better.

Sorry to burst your balloon there bucko but the adults are in charge trying to clean up the mess of that little brat that had control for 8 years. That isn't going to happen over night. Petulant little imps want it all and want it now but your're going to have to wait there, sonny, good things are worth waiting for. Things will come around for the better before 2012.
