Carly Fiorina, the Norma Desmond of Calif. Politics

Rate: 3 Flag

If Carly Fiorina was ever a competent CEO, then she'd know enough about statistics to understand that being over 10 points down with 96% of precincts reporting means she lost the damned election.

By claiming that the race was too close to call even though Boxer's lead was hitting double digits, Fiorina is officially the Norma Desmond of California politics.

(Fiorina finally conceded the race less than an hour ago. There's no word yet on if there's a dead William Holden floating around in her pool.)

Carly, meet Norma. Norma, meet Carly...
