On Sunday, the Los Angeles Daily News endorsed Carly Fiorina for senate. Saying that California needs “needs senators with the ability and presence to fully represent the most dynamic state in the union,” the editorial continued on to say that “of the candidates running … only Carly Fiorina meets that description.”

Arguing that California needed a change, the editorial praised Fiorina as “someone who’s shown in the past that she has the intelligence and the guts to take on a bloated organization, battle the old boys’ club, and make the hard decisions needed to turn the organization around.” And it defended Fiorina’s decision to lay off 30,000 workers — a decision that Boxer is slamming Fiorina for in attack ads — saying that if Hewlett Packard gone bankrupt, many more jobs would have been lost.

Comparing the federal government to “a troubled company teetering on the brink of financial ruin,” the editorial concluded that Fiorina’s business experience gives her “exactly the right background” for being a senator.
