NBC did not consider the statewide primary elections newsworthy enough to assign a correspondent to cover them. CBS concentrated on California, with Jeff Greenfield in Los Angeles profiling the pair of onetime Silicon Valley executives--Meg Whitman of eBay and Karly Fiorina of Hewlett Packard--who are now running statewide in Republican primaries, Whitman for Governor, Fiorina for Senate. ABC's Jonathan Karl generalized that "this might just be the year of the Republican woman," adding in contests in Nevada and South Carolina. ABC had George Stephanopoulos offer some analysis. He pointed to Whitman and to Nikki Haley in South Carolina and predicted that, if they should win in November, "they instantly become national leaders in the Republican Party."
