Carly Fiorina?

[Lone Clone]

I know she doesn't have a chance, but every time I see her, I'm more impressed. She did a short turn with the panel on "Special Report" tonight and was pretty impressive. No softballs, but nothing unexpected.....asked about the HP layoffs, the idea that she's an attack dog on Hillary because of her gender, that kind of stuff.

She's running for Veep. Might be a good choice.

That was one of the questions she was asked, more or less.

I agree. I'd actually like to see a Rand Paul - Carly Fiorina ticket from the GOP.

She's beholden to AIPAC.

They're all beholden to somebody or something.

I agree 100%. She is damn impressive. She did not dodge or talk around any question. As far as no chance, there is not a great chance but if she beats the expectation game you never know

I would think she will have a hard time finishing in the top 7-8 in the early primaries, which means the $$$ won't be coming into her campaign. The idea of her being a legitimate veep candidate is also not feasible. The vp nominee will be chosen with the main criteria of which swing State might be in play. To me... a more likely veep person would be Rubio given Florida will again be a swing State and the idea that the GOP will likely need a Latino presence... a typically weak source of support for the Republicans.

I agree that Fiorina will be the GOPs attack dog against HRC.

I saw her interviewed by Chris Wallace awhile back and he tried to corner her on running for VP. She made the point that she was running for president.

He kept pressing her and asked why she wouldn't answer the question of if she was offered the VP, would she accept it.

She told him she would answer the question as soon as he asked all the male candidates the same question.

It shut him up and she looked very much in control without really making a big deal about being treated differently from the men.

I'd love to see her make it into the first debate. I think it might move her candidacy foward considerably. She's a very good communicator, and stays on point well. I think it would be great to have her in the field as long as possible, and given that lightning is probably not going to strike, have her available as a veep choice.

As long as she sticks with fiscal conservatism and avoids making social conservatism a part of her plan I think she could provide a viable alternative for moderates from both parties. The unfortunate thing is that pandering to the 'wings' is almost a necessity to get out of the primaries. You see Jindal already doing this with his misinformed commercials about religious liberty. Everyone knows he's only concerned with conservative Christians.

Feisty Fiorina will be a Cabinet choice if the GOP wins
the Presidency in 2016. Secretary of Commerce would
be a good choice. Her business acumen will take her
far in a Republican administration.

This is a slightly more complicated matter than simply catering to the nutwings. Poll after poll, for one example, show the American people much, much closer to the GOP position than the Democratic position on abortion. But the media is an outlyer on the subject.

I don't understand Jindal's commercials, neither why he's running them or what point he's trying to make. To be fair. I haven't studied them.

Assessments of Fiorina's business career have varied. During her time at Lucent and Hewlett-Packard, she was named by Fortune Magazine the most powerful woman in business.[11][12] However, two days before her ousting from HP, Fortune described her merger plan as "failing" and the prognosis as "doubtful".[13] She has been described as one of the worst tech CEOs of all time,[14][15][16] though others have defended her business leadership decisions and viewed the Compaq merger as successful over the long term.

I think Rand Paul would make a poor VP. She can find a better running mate.....

Sounded like a pron name. Leaves disappointed.
