Carly Fiorina Hospitalized for Infection

With only one week to go in a very tough election race, Carly Fiorina didn't need this:

Republican Carly Fiorina's Senate campaign in California released this statement today:

"Carly learned more than a year and a half ago that she, like millions of women, had breast cancer. After successfully battling cancer, she had reconstructive surgery this summer and remains cancer free today. However, this morning Carly came down with an infection associated with the reconstructive surgery and, as a result, she was admitted to the hospital to receive antibiotics to treat this infection. While this will impact her campaign schedule today, Carly is upbeat and her doctors expect her to make a quick and full recovery and be back out on the campaign trail soon. Carly is looking forward to getting back to her full campaign schedule and to defeating Barbara Boxer on November 2."

Hurry back - America can't afford another six years of Barbara "Dumb-as-a-Box-of-Rocks" Boxer.

Maybe this anecdote will cheer her up:

In the not to be missed category, Sen. Dianne Feinstein stepped way out of the spin cycle yesterday, as she is often wont to do.

Feinstein was at a campaign event for Sen. Barbara Boxer in San Jose,and was asked by KTVU's Randy Shandobil how things were going, and she replied, "bad."

Feinstein is Boxer's campaign co-chair.
