The Dems won't talk about Carly because they can't stand the thought of the first female president being a Republican. It interrupts their silly "old white male party" narrative. That is why they attacked Sarah Palin when she ran for VP in 2008. Dems hate GOP women and GOP blacks. The latter are considered to be "Uncle Tom's".
LMFAO, In one poll she has 10%, in every other poll, she is no higher than 2%. Your party doesnt even want her in the race, why on earth would Democrats care ???????
We sure are hearing about her--the MNM flunkies are already goose-stepping like milquetoasts to be dauntless defenders of Queen Hillary, even criticizing Fiorina for daring to bring up questions about HC that they should be asking. The tough questions are now being hurled at Fiorina, who answers them without HC's indignation. Katie Couric's typical snarky hostility was evident in her recent grilling of Fiorina, while extolling what she considers to be HC's "virtues."
Why would we?
She has no appeal, other than the Sarah Palin / She is a Conservative woman talking head.
I'd take Mia Love over her in a heartbeat, if it has to be a woman.
Someone who was a theatrical major in school?
It's actually an appropriate background for politics.
Can't very well speak and shake my head at the same time, can I?
If you want to use your CEO experience as a stepping stone to politics, it would help if the market didn't react to the news of your ousting with a 7% increase in share price. There's something ironic about her golden parachute (which included about $19M in of shares) actually increasing considerably in value when she was finally kicked out.
(OK, so that was just one case - HP. She also ran Bell Labs and Lucent into the ground.)
Not that she has a chance. Running for President without a chance of being nominated is turning into a bit of a cottage industry. There's undoubtedly a "Donate Now" button on her actual website, it's nice ego bath for the purported candidate, it undoubtedly increases the speaking fees and - who knows? Once she concedes and throws her support behind the actual candidate, and if he wins, he may remember his friends.
She was a horrible failure and I love the sad faces demonstrating how many people lost their jobs under her watch while she escaped with a golden parachute. She has pretty much failed at everything; ran for Senate and failed; fired from McCain's campaign, fired from her job at HP where she performed horribly.
Ugh. I'm glad even most Republicans don't want her.

No, she's not. She had an excuse for every single one. Every one.

You lefties just keep lovin' on Hillary. And ignoring her past string of fiascos. And crimes.
I'm no fan of Carly, but I loath hypocrites.
Well, I guess there's that If that's the best she can expect as a ringing endorsement - she's not gonna make it.
How many people died under Bush's watch and you still don't talk about that? Since we're talking about hypocrites and all.

Thank you! She simply doesn't deserve it and she won't get it anyway.

I am not supporting her, I think we need someone with more government experience, but I am curious as to your statement: "she doesn't deserve it" Who are any of us to say, someone deserves it? What makes someone deserve it?
I know two people that have worked directly with her. Both have expressed their utter contempt of her.
The same goes with a friend of mine's son. He worked under Fiorina and was rising at H-P, but he was part of the mass firing she initiated. He despises her, and told me she turned H-P from a leading and very profitable company into a complete disaster in short order when she burdened H-P with Compaq, which was on its last legs and was a mess from top to bottom.
The Hewlett family forced her out as fast as they could, but only after massive damage was done to both computer brands.
I can't see anyone not previously elected to political office ever winning the Presidency.
While the idea of citizen legislators is laudable, I'd prefer a bit more lawmaking experience in the head cheese.
