Carly Fiorina, who rose to power in corporate America to become Hewlett-Packard’s first female chairman and CEO, is aiming to smash two more glass ceilings, but this time in politics.
One is the 159-year history of total male dominance of Republican presidential nominations. The other is the 225-year period when a “For Men Only” sign has hung over the door to the Oval Office.
Mrs. Fiorina has no problem breaking glass to do it, candidly discussing what she sees as the foreign policy failures of George W. Bush, her opposition to amnesty and her disdain for crony capitalism that marries government interests to Wall Street.
She also doesn’t mince words when it comes to problems she sees with big-government liberals. She cited the example of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber, who was captured on video boasting that Americans were too stupid to understand the law.

There is a coterie here pushing Fiorina.
Who are you guys and why?
Bring em all on and let the primary voters decide.
Carly isn’t very inspiring to me, but no reason to try and suppress any voices.
If she does to the country what she did to two companies, she will be even worse than obama.
That woman almost destroyed HP.
She has no business running a country.
She destroyed a company...no need to destroy a country (any more than Obama has already done)
I'm tired of having Affirmative Action/Diversity buffoons anywhere near the levers of power.
True. But Fiorina's huge (10-point) and expensive loss in the California senate race has branded her as just another loser. I'm looking for a winner in 2016.
Carly ... why don’t you first set your sights on the glass ceiling in California ... electing Republicans (who weren’t Hollyweird actors) ...
I worked on her Senate bid in CA, but only because I’d rather see her in that seat than Boxer.
She ruined HP but they put her into that position for the stupidest of reasons- she had no business running it but they wanted to put ‘A WOMAN’ there.
She is not stupid, but she should not be running a business or the country.
She is a perfect example of “The Peter Principle” - which says that everyone rises up to one level above their competency.
They do so well where they are competent, that they are promoted - to a level they are not competent
Who thinks this woman should be elected to anything?
My guess is she’s being paid to run by the same people paying Huckabee, just to disrupt and scatter conservative votes away from Ted Cruz.
She was well beyond her Peter Principle limit when she tore apart HP.
As CEOs go, she’s a really good admin asistant.
I figure we’ll know in the next year if Meg was cut from the same cloth...hehe
Lost all interest as soon as the phrase “glass ceiling” was used
“I figure we’ll know in the next year if Meg was cut from the same cloth...hehe”
Nope. Meg is 1000 times better.
Well, unfortunately, she proved no match for the malignant midget from Marin, barbara boxer. And talk about how hanging fruit. Carly needs to rethink any 2016 plans.
My main recollection of her is running HP into the dirt.
