&lt;p&gt;Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina has made waves in recent years, not only as a female technology leader, but also for stumping for Republican John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign. Now her political aspirations are aiming much higher. Fiorina has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mercurynews.com/politics/ci_12038299&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;said that she is &amp;quot;seriously considering a race in California&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;. All indications are pointing to a run against Democrat Barbara Boxer, the incumbent California senator, in the 2010 election.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other California politicians have also been discussed as potential opponents to Boxer -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-littman/the-big-race-everyone-wil_b_54937.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;most notably Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger&lt;/a&gt;, who is running up against term limits for his current post  -- but Fiorina&#039;s business experience might shine more brightly, compared to local politicians who were burned in recent budget fights in Sacramento. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prediction: &lt;/b&gt;Carly Fiorina formally announces a run for the California Senate by the end of 2009. &lt;/p&gt;

Now her political aspirations are aiming much higher. Fiorina has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mercurynews.com/politics/ci_12038299&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;said that she is &amp;quot;seriously considering a race in California&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;. All indications are pointing to a run against Democrat Barbara Boxer, the incumbent California senator, in the 2010 election.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other California politicians have also been discussed as potential opponents to Boxer -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-littman/the-big-race-everyone-wil_b_54937.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;most notably Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger&lt;/a&gt;, who is running up against term limits for his current post  -- but Fiorina&#039;s business experience might shine more brightly, compared to local politicians who were burned in recent budget fights in Sacramento. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prediction: &lt;/b&gt;Carly Fiorina formally announces a run for the California Senate by the end of 2009. &lt;/p&gt;
