Republican Candidate Picks 2010 Primaries

Reason	Preference
Senator Tom Campbel: I like Tom Campbell, he is a good,moderate Republican. I won't support him this time because he is too moderate. Chuck Devore: Really like his background.A working man who worked his way through college and studied in Cairo. A research scientist, an intelligence officer in the reserves, an advocate of nuclear power, of impeccable conservative credentials. I wish I could vote for him. Carly Fiorina: HP CEO and Lucent (Bell Labs). BA in History and Philosophy from Stanford, MBA in marketing, MS in management from MIT. She went from secretary and receptionist to CEO, taught English in Italy. 15 years from higher to Senior VP at AT&T, President of Lucent consumer communications, then of global service (the largest component of Lucent). HP in 1999, oversaw the Compaq merger. Tried to buy EDS, was rebuffed by shareholders,HP eventually bought EDS.A contentious career with significant ups and downs. She is a strong proponent of H1B visas,point person to McCain in economics. My pick, although I would love Devore.She has a chance to beat Boxer	Carly Fiorina:
