Nov. 5 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Carly Fiorina has announced her candidacy in the next years election. She will be running for the seat currently held by Senator Barbara Boxer. Carly, aged 55, is a former businesswoman and was chosen by the Washington Republicans to run for the Senate for the state of California. She was formerly the Chief Executive Officer of Hewlett Packard. She announced her decision on Wednesday. It is hoped by the Republicans that she is going to give the three term holder Boxer (of the Democrats) a tough competition as she brings both money and fame in her campaign.

Carly started the campaign on an unusual note. Instead of the usual back-slapping and mutual praise that generally precedes the tooth and nail fight before the election, Carly headed straight to state her not so flattering opinion of her competitor. She said that she felt that the incumbent senator is nothing but a do-nothing of Capitol Hill. In the press conference she called to make her announcement, she began by questioning Barbara’s hair, which is in sharp contrast with her close cropped look.

Carly had recently undergone surgery for breast cancer. When questioned about her health status, she said that her surgery was successful and that she is in perfect health now. She made the announcement at the Earth Friendly Products at Garden Grove. She accused Boxer of supporting environmental programs that are too expensive and incur huge government expense and does not create enough jobs. She further said that she felt that Boxer has done precious little for Washington. Carly added that she hardly recognizes her as a Senator.
