Dan Morain hits the nail on the head today in the Sacramento Bee in a column about Carly Fiorina. As we would say in Texas, she’s all hat and no cattle.  In other words, there is a lot of talking, but if you dig down there just isn’t anything there.

Based on Carly Fiorina’s talking points, you’d think that U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer burst the housing bubble, crashed the stock market and inflated the federal budget deficit to obscene dimensions all on her own. …

Fiorina said she had little familiarity with three California judicial nominees blocked earlier this month by Republicans in the U.S. Senate–surprising for someone who aspires to serve in the Senate.

Let’s face it, Carly Fiorina will not be CEO of anything if she won the Senate election. (And thank goodness for that!) But, as Morain points out, the one area that she would have some real power would be in the area of judicial appointments.

But Carly doesn’t even know enough to discuss the issue? I guess only Kagan made it into her briefing book, but as a Senator she’s going to need to dig a little deeper.  But from what we’ve seen of Carly on the campaign trail, she’s all about superficiality and tossing red meat to the base.

In fact, she seldom misses an opportunity, even now, to mention how anti-choice she is. In a new ad, the Boxer campaign highlights this fact for California voters.  

Carly Fiorina is nobody’s moderate.  She is a right-wing extremist who would take us back to the dark days of back alley abortions.  She is just too dangerous to trust in the Senate.
