California GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina has taken a position on net neutrality that shouldn't come as a shock to anyone: she opposes it. This is in sharp contrast to her opponent, incumbent democrat senator Barbara Boxer, who has been pushing the FCC to get to work on reclassifying broadband under Title II.
This is not a shocking or controversial position for the former CEO of Hewlett Packard; net neutrality is a divisive issue that falls among partisan lines: Democrats tend to support it, and Republicans tend to be against it. The only other position to take is the one taken by the Electric Frontier Foundation, which trust neither government or the private sector to do net neutrality right (read this little bit from August 10 on the Google Verizon proposals).
"The principle sounds fantastic, but the principle is not the problem," Fiorina said while at the Technology Policy Institute's conference in Aspen, Colo.

The Republicans are so funny, when the economy is good you say let’s all celebrate “Cinco de Mayo, my brothers” but when the economy is down “it’s all your fault, you damn immigrant”. When most Americans (with Latin America roots) go to the polls this November we will remember that the GOP has gone on a nationwide rant in proposing and passing several anti-immigration legislation (that our US Courts continue to strike down) and have continue to blame the immigrant for the flat economy or worse. We will remember who stands with us and who stands against us, so trying to stop it now is somewhat funny, but go ahead, you will not change our minds. Plus the more radical of the GOP are now attacking our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, in a misguided attempt to garner some much needed votes, they really are fools, and leading the GOP towards obscurity because they are no longer a party of ideas, just of empty suits. Your hate made you do it, in November; you will reap what you have sown. I wonder what Abraham Lincoln would say about todays GOP, he unlike the current GOP was a man of ideas.
