Women triumph in California primary by Magdalena Rosova

Americans voted to choose their candidates for Novembers midterm elections. 12 out of 50 American states has already voted. November election will decide about all chairs in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. In California primaries for governor and Senate people supported strong women such as Former eBay chief Meg Whitman or former Hewlett-Packard head Carly Fiorina. The candidates have to fight against the voter anger at the US economy and growing unemployment. Spectacular battle happened in Arkansas on Tuesday where another woman Blanche Lincoln defeated her challenger Bill Halter. Incumbent Senator Lincoln had support of Barack Obama and also Bill C! linton, which is quite strong triumph. But Lincoln still have to face her Republican rival John Boozman, who will try to defeat her in November elections. In California two successful businesswomen easily won the Republican primaries for the gubernatorial and Senate races. Meg Whitman, former eBay chief, will be the Republican nominee for governor and Carly Fiorina, former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, will be a nominee for Senate. Whitman, 53-year-old billionaire, spent her own 71 million dollars on her campaign. In primaries she defeated her rival Steve Poizner. She got 65 percent and Poizner only 25.8. However, California has never before elected a woman governor. Outgoing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger can not candidate again because of term limits and Whitman will try to replace him. Carly Fiorina, 55, has support of conservatives because of her opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage. In November election she will try to replace Democratic Senator Barbara B! oxer.
