Carly will do anything for a vote.

That is pandering that would even make Hillary Clinton blush. How stupid are these politicians?
The question is how stupid are the primary voters/caucusers. In Iowa, the answer is "we hate dem queers and abordjuns".
And in case you disagree with that... Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee agree with that assessment.
Jeez, at least Chris Christie as the balls to rub his favorite football team into the face of his own electorate.
I guess I can chalk that up as another think I disagree with those two on...
Surprised you're so excited to cite them as evidence for your position.
My position is that the Iowa GOP is made up in a large part by backwards social conservatives. I think Santorum and Huckabee winning prove that nicely.
Rubio would never do anything like this.

Carly gave her explanation on CNN this morning. But I'm no help because I can't process what she's saying looking at her ugly face. The only thing Trump has been right about.
That is a pretty easy question. She will say that she fell in love with the hard workin' people of Iowa during all her trips here and wanted them to enjoy a Rose Bowl victory.
Carly Fiorina responded to critics on Sunday who said she was pandering to Iowa voters by rooting for the University of Iowa over her alma mater, Stanford, in the Rose Bowl.
The Republican presidential hopeful said a tweet expressing her support for the Hawkeyes was “tongue-in-cheek.”
“Can’t a girl have a little fun?” Fiorina asked on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “That was a tongue-in-cheek tweet, which the people of Iowa understand, because I was asked over and over again in Iowa, having attended a Hawkeye tailgate.”
“They knew that my heart was torn, that I had said something really controversial, like, you know, 'ISIS is a JV team,' or, 'This demonstration was a result of a video,'” she said, referring to comments made by President Obama and Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton, respectively.
After Fiorina’s tweet, the University of Iowa was trounced by Stanford, 45-16, prompting social media users to start a “#CarlyCurse” hashtag.
“Let’s just say, if the biggest mistake I make is a tongue-in-cheek tweet about a Rose Bowl, the American people will sleep safely when I’m president of the United States,” she said.
“I guess it was a slow news day for the media.”

Let's be completely honest here, how many football games do you guys think ol' Carly attended when she was on The Farm?
What was she asked over and over again at the Hawkeye tailgate? About the Rose bowl match up with Stanford? The tailgate she went to was in September.
I think I'll vote for her now.
Can't have too many Hawkeye fans in high places.

Politicians know how to kiss ass. CEOs know how to have their ass kissed. I don't know that these business types get overwhelmed, but it's clear from day 1 that they are always way out of their element. I could see why it's appealing to some but this is why they frequently fail, particularly in Presidential elections. They just do not possess the skills necessary to win elections
Well she did sleep with more than one boss and left her husband for one boss.
This was clearly a joke. Not surprising that so many got taken by it and expressed their outrage.
What outrage? Most of what I've read here is about how stupid it was. It's just like the Standford band performance - not clever, funny or original - just stupid and lame
What about the tweet made it clearly a joke? I don't follow her very closely. Is she clearly a jokester?
Just my opinion but I can't believe any rational adult would think that she was really rooting for Iowa in order to gain some votes. Much more likely in my opinion that she was making a joke. I thought it was funny. I chuckled a bit when I first saw the tweet. And for the record I have no intention of voting for Carly regardless of which football team she wants to win a bowl game.
Outrage was too strong of a word but you know what I mean. I think a lot of people missed the joke because they don't like her politics.
There was zero delivery there. I can't even begin to see how it was a joke, but I did witness you trying to construe it into one.
Did she learn "not jokes" from Borat and has yet to say "not?"
