Supporters increase calls for former Alaskan governor to seek Republican nomination for president.

What is this group’s opinion of Carly Fiorina?

[piasa]

No, you called him Sir Lee.

WTH is Bob Hepburn? Is this a socialist Canadian paper or what? Isn’t that Clinton country? The $$$$ money pit location for getting our uranium in the hands of Russia?

A pretty odd source, but oh well. I thought it was satire. Maybe it was Hillary forces loose in a publishing house. Just so odd. Canada? Cynical me, I suppose.

“...What is this group’s opinion of Carly Fiorina?...”

At the present time, the public for the most part has no idea who she is. Her name probably rings a bell from a news report they heard awhile back, but that’s about the extent of her name recognition.

Once folks start to see more glimpses of her in the media, there is a chance they will consider her a female Donald Trump.

I disagree Rafeal Cruz gave brith to Ted. Because of his Dad Ted is who he is.

Carly is taking it to Hillary as few of the guys can, and she has VERY thick skin with the media, blooper free, giving flawless interviews. I believe she helps the other candidates shine, by doing combat against one person, Hillary, and never against the other candidates. Smart move.

It will be a stretch with this stellar field of ours, but depending what the need is at ticket time, who knows, she may make it on one.

Agree.

Palin/Cruz 2016!

Rita - I agree 100%. I soak up every word she says. She is dynamite, fearless, but articulate and very effective. She is very smart in what she is doing. There was an article in USA Today that she is drawing unexpectedly large crowds during an Iowa swing a week or so ago. She is intriguing people, it appears.

I did not know this, but the USA Today article said she had breast cancer in 2010 and had a double mastectomy. She told the crowed that after chemotherapy, "Hillary is not that scary."

Anyway, she has done everything right, and I have to assume she is auditioning for the vice president slot. I have a feeling if she keeps it up, she may very well find herself in that position.

I don't see Walker being Cruz' vp or vice versa...I don't think it works. Rand Paul - I don't know who he would choose. Anyway, for the first time in years, it's fun to think about a republican presidential ticket.

Perhaps, but Sarah Palin seems over-exposed and caricatured, so I think it is best if she sat out of the race except as an influencer, not a candidate.

[newfreep]

Of course, Palin’s flaws are well-documented, from her poor grasp of history to her rambling speeches."

That is a flawed and dishonest statement making the entire article quite worthless.

It's best to consolidate conservative support behind 1 candidate...and that is Cruz. Otherwise, a RINO will get nomination ala Juan & RomneyCare.

At this point, I'd rather see Sarah run against Juan for AZ Senator - poetic justice for Juan's treason, throwing the 2008 election and allowing the false RINO attacks on her.

I like that picture.

I agree with you 100%. Ted Cruz will make a fine Vice President.

:D

[CatherineofAragon]

Ted’s not a second-fiddle kind of guy. He’s alpha.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I’m just saying, put Cruz #2 with Palin for four, or eight years.

If he works out, then hire him as president. This would in my opinion be a complete win-win.

This presumes Palin will run. If she doesn’t run, then we’ll need an alternate approach.

[CatherineofAragon]

Nope, sorry.

[Big Horn]

She would be great if she could win, the Dems have smeared her bad.

[jaydee770]

“...so I think it is best if she sat out of the race except as an influencer, not a candidate...”

I honestly don’t see how she could un-do and/or over come the coordinated media trashing either. That being said, I don’t know what Palin knows or has planned. If she want to run again, I would be the last person to tell her no. But I have to wonder if this is the year to do it. There is a potential *stampede* of candidates who may toss their hats in and I don’t know how well she would do in that crowded field. But again, most folks are probably smarter than I am; Palin even more so. So I’ve got no problem with whatever she decides to do - run for president or run for a senate seat or run a PAC or run around giving speeches for a living.

Well, I also enjoy just seeing her, anywhere, doing anything. The lady is a soothing sight to behold!
