Politico has an interesting story about about Tea Party efforts in several states to recall politicians — when, you know, the electoral thing just isn’t working for you. Bob Menendez in New Jersey, Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu and Kent Conrad of North Dakota have all been targeted.

The rap on Carly Fiorina is that she is less personable than she might be. In this priceless open mic incident, Fiorina, who won the Republican nomination to challenge Barabara Boxer, comes off as, well, sort of a jerk. The payoff …

The latest evidence of the Governors’ growing concern about what lies ahead came in the State of the …
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina is thinking about running for the GOP nomination against California Senator Barbara Boxer next year. Earlier this week, she put up a campaign website that got what could charitably be described as unenthusiastic reviews. “A little weird,” wrote Holly Bailey of Newsweek. CNN added that even her …
