The campaign has begun. The Boxer campaign and the California Democractic Party are focusing on Carly Fiorina and her "failed' tenure at HP. I think they are making a big mistake. What they need to understand that Carly Fiornia was not wrong in the vision she had. She was not an operations person per se. But, leaders are not necessary nuts and bolts people like her successor, Mark Hurd. But, her decision to push for the Compaq merger insured that HP emerged as one of the big three IT Players today. What the Democratic Party must do is to make sure they realize that what she represents is a throwback to the past of tax cuts, give aways to the rich and more power to big business. Simply attacking Fiornia is the wrong approach. Furthermore, the Democrats need to sit back and enjoy the Republicans slugging it out especially in light of the teabaggers and the Sarah Palin wing of the party.
Carly Fiorina gave a preview of what she envisioned when she talked about her potential candidacy at the Web 2.0 conference about the accomplishments of Barbara Boxer. That's the strategy that the Boxer Campaign has to push--a Senator who is seasoned, who speaks for all on Main Street who will do what needs to be done to represent California. Whether the political minds running the campaign for the Senator and at the Party level listen is another matter.
