[edit] Recent career in politics

Campbell began the process of running for California Governor in mid-2008,[1] but abandoned that attempt in January 2010 and switched to running for Barbara Boxer's U.S. Senate seat.[2] [3][4] In a poll conducted by Field Research in March 2010, Campbell clearly led the Republican field with 28% versus 22% for Carly Fiorina and 9% for Chuck DeVore (with 40% still undecided), while in a general election matchup, Campbell is currently too close to call with incumbent Barbara Boxer, 44% to 43%.[5]

Campbell is long on experience and has demonstrated his mastery of budget matters and how to achieve fiscal responsibility. He is only a minor adjustment from his gubernatorial campaign. On March 18, Campbell spoke at the World Affairs Council in San Francisco, taking care to re-affirm his unqualified support of Operation Opera, Israel's 1981 surprise attack on and destruction of the nuclear reactor being constructed in Osirak, Iraqi. In the closing the Q&A, he made a requested three-point summary: United States Constitution, balanced budget and political freedom.[6]
