As expected, former CEOs Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman will head up the Republican ticket in California in the Senate and gubernatorial races, respectively.
In the Senate GOP primary, with 5 percent of precincts reporting, Fiorina leads former Rep. Tom Campbell 58% to 22%, while Assemblyman and Tea Party favorite Chuck DeVore only has 17%.
Fiorina will face Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) in the general election.
In the gubernatorial GOP primary, Whitman is ahead of state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner 62% to 28%. Whitman starts off as the slight underdog against Attorney General Jerry Brown (D) in the general election.
Both Fiorina and Whitman have lent money to their own campaigns during the primary, and will almost certainly continue to have their wallets open for what should be two of the most expensive races in the country.
