Source for Carly Fiorina and the "real world"

The article I referenced in "Carly Fiorina, get real!" was the Huffington Post, "Carly Fiorina Gets the Demon Sheep Treatment From DSCC, California Democrats", Sam Stein, 2010-05-06.

She ran a "Demon Sheep" spot against her opponent in the Republican Senate primary for California, Tom Campbell.  Campbell was the architect of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's  budget.

I got it backwards that she was running for the Governor of California; she's running to oust Democrat Barbara Boxer from the Senate.  Meg Whitman, another über-rich former CEO (EBay) is running for Governor of California.

The Democrats produced their own campaign video, "Demon Sheep II".  In it, they have have a clip of Carly Fiorina saying, "Those of us who do live in the real world…"  See "Demon Sheep II" in Sam Stein's article above.

Many of us may be envious of her "real world" with millions of dollars in the bank and the power she had as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, but I think most of us prefer our own "hum-drum" "real world".
