Despite Blanche Lincoln's win in Arkansas and Sharron Angle's defeat of the more moderate choice, Republicans have much to cheer about today. In California, the union's most liberal state, Republicans nominated two wealthy businesswomen to challenge the Democratic establishment in California. Meg Whitman, the former eBay chief executive, took the Republican primary for governor and ex-Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina was nominated to challenge Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer in the fall. This primary election represents the first time the California Republican Party has put a woman at the top of the ticket.
Whitman deftly stated, "Career politicians in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., be warned: You now face your worst nightmare - two businesswomen from the real world who know how to create jobs, balance budgets and get things done." Hallelujah. Seriously. These people know how to cost-cut, which is precisely what the state desperately needs if it isn't to become the next Greece or Hungary.
