So far, Hewlett-Packard has given the maximum amount to Sen. Barbara Boxer but hasn't contributed toward its own former CEO, Carly Fiorina, campaign finance reports show.

Boxer has received the maximum $10,000 from Hewlett-Packard's political action committee toward her re-election, including $3,000 in the last quarter of 2009, her campaign reported today. HP's PAC gives to congressional candidates "who share HP's public policy views," using donations from employees rather than corporate funds, according to HP's Web site.

Fiorina, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, was president and CEO of HP from 1999 to 2005, when she was fired in a dispute with the company's board of directors. The only HP-related donation she reported was a $250 contribution from a Roseville-based HP manager.

One of Fiorina's GOP rivals, Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, benefited more than Fiorina from the HP fortune. DeVore received $2,400 from Arianna Packard, the granddaughter of the founder of Hewlett Packard, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Or, they'll contribute to all sides.

They've already had that opportunity and made their intentions clear.

Has Carlyfornia started spending her $20 million yet?

Somewhat, but I mean, the primaries are coming up, blasting money a few weeks before the primary might not be enough

I wouldn't put Campbell as the favorite to win the primary, but having run statewide a couple times, he certainly has the name recognition.  And he has an undetermined amount of part establishment behind him (the people who convinced him to switch races and who view the truth that Carlyfornia and Chuck are utterly unelectable in California).

I was really mocking the attitude that Campbell was doomed to lose the primary, when he's leading in the polling.  Carlyfornia has shown no inclination towards competence throughout her existence and DeVore is a boring ideologue detached from reality.
