She's been to New Hampshire three times and South Carolina once. She's heading to Iowa this weekend, and then North Carolina and Michigan after that. Clearly, Carly Fiorina is thinking about 2016.

But is anybody thinking about Carly Fiorina?

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO and 2010 Senate candidate is hitting the campaign trail in the lead-up to Election Day for her new super PAC, teaching activists and politicians how to talk to female voters—and building herself a grassroots base in a half-dozen electorally important states in the process.

While her efforts are focused on helping the GOP win control of the Senate in November, political strategists say Fiorina is doing all the right things to prep for a 2016 bid. And the message she's touting is a preview of the kind of role she could play, if she runs.

So will she run?

"People ask me that a lot, so if you get asked that a lot you have to think about it—you have to consider it," Fiorina told National Journal. "I'm flattered by the question and I have to consider it."

Wasn't she like one of the worst CEOs ever? Why would anyone want her as President?

Yes. And a terrible politician too.

Why would anyone want her as President?

100% sold out to the establishment elite.

She was introduced by some old GOP guy at one event and he put it so bluntly and politically incorrect it was almost funny. His bottom line: she makes a great candidate because "she's a woman".

Peter Schiff interviewed her before he ended his radio show. You can listen to it here:



Though I believe nothing is going to change whoever get elected, even if it be Rand. Between a Rand and Carly, it's going to be mostly the same to me.

But a Rand+Carly ticket could be pretty exciting for the GOP I'd imagine.

Ugh. Don't even joke about that. A failed and disgraced CEO who has never held public office and is a tool of the same old puppet masters? No thanks.

If the gender of the candidate is so important, Nikki Haley would be a better choice.

So, at best - Rand might be in GOP debates against the former Hewlett-Packard CEO - I'll presume a resident of Texas (?)
and Rand in those debates is gonna have to avoid the bad rap of "beating up on a girl"

I will say it much over the next 20 months - until the GOP National Convention in Cleveland in late June (probable official date before July 4th btw) -
that Rand will make a very deliberate choice for a running mate once the nomination is sealed on the floor of the convention.

McCain's unvetted pick based on gender was never about the country at all - it showed McCain as the idiot he really is - imho.

6-6-6 comes to mind, or was it 9-9-9 ? This sounds like the 2016 re-incarnation of Herman Cain as a presidential candidate.
