When Carly Fiorina launched her campaign for U.S. Senate late last year, she wanted little to do with Sarah Palin. "I've never met her," Fiorina replied when asked about the former Alaska governor's leadership skills. "Next question."

And Meg Whitman, the front-running GOP candidate for California governor, probably wasn't planning to ask Dick Cheney or Newt Gingrich to endorse her when she launched her ubiquitous ad campaign last fall.

But as the races for governor and senator go down to the wire before the June 8 primary, big name Republicans are jumping into the fray with endorsements — 11th-hour nods that may offer big boosts now but carry serious risks in the fall, when the primary winners face the general electorate in a solidly blue state.

Yippee. Someone with little experience as House Speaker (merely from 1995-1999) supports someone with zero experience in political office. Really telling of character.

11. For anyone remotely thinking of voting for her, this alone should help with the decision.
Birds of a feather . . .

14. There are fitting labels for Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina
Meg Whitman, the Goldman Sacks loser who wants to do what with the public treasury?

Carly Fiorina, the HP loser who buys loser companies at top dollar, then forced out of a job by her friends...

Yes, it really makes sense to vote for these two losers...
