Media pumping up Carly Fiorina in Iowa

[William Tell]

Articles and headlines like this one never cease to amaze me. They get a quote from one fan girl, and the media decides that Carly matters, and is picking up speed. Even though she's at less than 1% in most of the polls.

[h=1]Carly Fiorina 'picking up speed' in Iowa, GOP activists say[/h]So far, all the GOP presidential contenders who have tested the waters in Iowa have found the temperature toasty.
Republican Carly Fiorina is the latest long shot to get a hero's welcome from conservative activists here.


Last Wednesday, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO attracted the second-biggest crowd that Urbandale's Westside Conservative Club has seen in two presidential election cycles — this one and the previous one.


Nearly 300 came to the Clinton County GOP's spring dinner Thursday night for Fiorina's keynote speech. At the spaghetti dinner Friday night for the Johnson County GOP, more tables had to be brought out to handle a bigger-than-anticipated audience of 260.


About 110 Iowans showed up Saturday morning for a Webster County Republican Women event.


"Everyone I spoke to left inspired by what Ms. Fiorina had to say," Karen Glaser, co-chair of the Webster County GOP, told The Des Moines Register. "I feel that she is picking up speed, and the more people that hear her, the better it will get."


What's clear is that Fiorina, a 60-year-old California native who has barely clocked 1 percent in recent polling, is now on Iowa activists' radar. Where did this wellspring of admiration and affection come from?

This is nothing but a farce. I have witnessed in person how the media blatantly lied about how Carly was received at the GOP convention when she ran for Senate. She had to drive past people protesting her, for a photo op with her paid supporters. No one cared that she was there. She was a non-presence. The media acted as if she was the hit of the convention, and she was greeted like a conquering hero. Pure fantasy from the media.

I went to a spaghetti dinner in Iowa with Haley Barbour once.

That's called spreading santorum.
