Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Announces Bid For White House
seven of five writes: According to Reuters, "Former Hewlett-Packard Co Chief Executive Carly Fiorina announced on Monday she is running for president, becoming the only woman in the pack of Republican candidates for the White House in 2016. ... Fiorina registers near the bottom of polls of the dozen or so Republican hopefuls and has never held public office. But she has already attracted warm receptions at events in the early voting state of Iowa where she is positioning herself as a conservative, pro-business Republican highly critical of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Fiorina was forced by HP to resign in 2005 as the tech company struggled to digest Compaq after a $19 billion merger."
As part of her announcement, she said, "I think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works. I understand the world, who's in it, how the world works." I'm sure we'll soon begin hearing from all the HP employees, current and former, who have nothing but love for Carly F.

This cycle's slate of republican canidates is so packed with FAIL is unbelievable.
So was the last cycle. Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina - without nametags it would be hard to tell them apart.
Actually Palin had the highest approval rating of any governor in the US before McCain selected her for VP and the lib media went into attack mode. The sent more investigative reporters to Wasilla than they ever did to Chicago. Come to think of it, they never sent anyone to Chicago.
she has way more government experience
1) So did Palin (vs Obama) but that didn't stop the criticism there
2) Most of Hilary's experience is being the wife of Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend
3) Finally, most good democrats cannot even find ONE accomplishment of Hilary, besides #2)
Given the choice between Hilary and Carly, I'd take Carly. Which isn't actually saying much. Personally, I can't stand either of them.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
Obama was a US Senator longer (3-Jan-2005 to 16-Nov-2008) that Palin was Governor of Alaska
Voting "present" if I recall was his biggest achievement in those years. Having no real accomplishments other than being elected is outstanding political work these days. It also is working for Hilary.
And obviously you think three years as senator makes one fully qualified to be President of the US.
Based on what?
Rose Law firm files
Taking China from the WH
TravelGate
Filegate
Drug Dealer Scandal
Mail Server Scandal
Clinton Foundation scandal.
Of course, a lifetime of scandal should be enough to prevent her from running. At this point the DNC can't complain about anyone the GOP having "Scandals"
