DeVore Blasts Fiorina As She Takes Steps To Enter U.S. Senate Race
Yesterday I blogged about the announcement by former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina (pictured right) that she was taking the initial steps that one would take if looking at an official run for the U.S. Senate — filing her campaign committee name with the federal government, and bringing on board some communications consultants. You can read that here.
As Fiorina considers becoming a Republican candidate for the United States Senate, with an end-goal target of trying to take out liberal incumbent Barbara Boxer, she undoubtedly is well aware that she must first get through a GOP primary. For nearly a year now, conservative Assemblyman Chuck DeVore of Orange County has been running an extremely aggressive campaign for the Republican nomination. I should probably… Read More

California-Based Houstons Takes On NYC Menu-Calorie Count Law
The restaurant Houstons is battling New York City’s stupid law that requires restaurant chains to print calorie counts in their menus — good for them. Maybe they can try to take on the version of the law passed here in California.
Whether or not calorie counts are listed in restaurants should be a decision made by restaurant owners, based on market conditions. Not a mandate handed down by government.

Fiorina Takes First Official Step In U.S. Senate Bid; Wilson-Miller Retained
Today Carly Fiorina, the former Chief Executive Officer of Hewlett Packard, announced that she has filed the name, "Carly for California," with the IRS — which is the very, very first thing that you do if you are looking to run for federal office. Fiorina, who was very visible on the stump for the Presidential campaign of United States Senator John McCain last year, has been talking to people about a potential bid for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by ultra-liberal Barbara Boxer for some time now. Fiorina held a slew of meetings at last February’s State GOP convention. Shortly afterwards, however, she began treatments as she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Sources assure us that she is almost completed with those treatments, and is still very focused on exploring a bid for the Senate, hence this announcement.
