Then again, this women: Carly Fiorina, a former HP CEO, who is running against incumbent Barbara Boxer for a senate seat in California used sexism to her advantage in a campaign ad demeaning Boxers title of "Senator" In addition Fiorina has been pouring in millions to her campaign from her own pocket. Boxer still is showing a 47% lead against Fiorina's 43%.
