The Fresno Bee quoted SPPD Senior Fellow Sherry Bebitch Jeffe about former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, a Republican challenger for Sen. Barbara Boxer's U.S. Senate seat. Fiorina didn't attend the Republican convention in Indian Wells this past weekend, citing ongoing cancer treatments. The story included speculation that Fiorina, considered a moderate Republican, didn't attend because she wanted to avoid conservative Republicans. "Whatever the reason [Fiorina] didn't go, I think she was better off not being there," Jeffe said. "The Republican convention was certainly not the most friendly crowd for Fiorina."
