In a small but significant poll, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) defeated former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina by a single vote.
The New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women straw poll handed Cruz 21 votes to Fiorina’s 20, out of 94 total votes, according to NH1.com....

I think Carly has eyes on the VP slot. Her attack dog role so far has been stellar.
Ted Cruz Ping! I agree she would be a great VP or maybe an even better SOS.
I have a sincere query about Cruz’ position on increasing H1B visas. Do we NEED any more visas? Are these current visas taking jobs from Americans? Thanks to all who answer. Bob
I’ve been mulling over the SOS. You’re right! Carly would be a perfect fit for that position!
Has Katie McHugh of Breitbart been fooled by the Democrate operative pretending to be a Tea Party candidate? What is his name? Curtis Ellis.
I do know that two of their writers are die-hard Paulestinians that have been attacking Cruz (and only Cruz) on trade, even though Scott Walker and many other candidates also favor the agreements. Almost like Team Rand knows who their main opponent is. How circa 2007-12 Romney-esque...
I came to that conclusion when she was talking about Clinton’s failures as SOS.
She said she had gone on various trips with secretaries of state as one of the little people (Businessmen, analysts, logistics people) who sat down and hammered out the actual deals. Meanwhile Secretaries of state go to state dinners and photo ops.
She just strikes me as the kind of person I would choose for SOS.
I think if we would stick to teaching kids what they need to know to work in the real world instead of the other crap they are learning now in school, we wouldn’t need to import skilled workers.
She’s very sharp and articulate. I think she could eviscerate Hillary in any setting. She is right about her skills in dealing with foreign dignitaries and businesses. She could be a dynamite asset for the country, for sure.
In my opinion, the last thing we need for SOS is another female.
The most vital negotiations that the next SOS will be involved in will concern the Middle East. Every contemporary Foreign Minister/negotiator from this part of the world has, by definition, no respect for a woman.
They aren't going to take a woman SOS seriously -- even if their name is Clinton (or Albright or Rice).
That's a reality. And it needs to be recognized.
Our next SOS shouldn't be a woman...or a buffoon. It should be a man.
I swear people just pretend her history never happened. Well it’s Romney 2.0. Here we go again. Praise the worst of the right and slam the best we have.
She got mad skills running a company into the ground
Conservative women vote with their fingers, see?
In a speech that was given a mere two weeks after Islamic jihadists attacked America, the former HP chief executive officer gave a speech on technology, business and our way of life. She concluded her speech with the following:
There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world.
It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.
One of its languages became the universal language of much of the world, the bridge between the peoples of a hundred lands. Its armies were made up of people of many nationalities, and its military protection allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known. The reach of this civilization's commerce extended from Latin America to China, and everywhere in between.
And this civilization was driven more than anything, by invention. Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption. Its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease. Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way for space travel and exploration.
Its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in fear to think of such things.
When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.
While modern Western civilization shares many of these traits, the civilization I'm talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.
Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization, its gifts are very much a part of our heritage. The technology industry would not exist without the contributions of Arab mathematicians. Sufi poet-philosophers like Rumi challenged our notions of self and truth. Leaders like Suleiman contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership.
For some reason she left out the clitorectomy and child brides from her list.
I bet her views have matured in the last ten years.
Now, this is the type of poll we are seeing on the ground in most places. Cruz usually wins. But to win a poll, albeit a small sample, of WOMEN in Blue Hampshire OVER a female candidate is a big deal.
Go Cruz!
Seriously, many people still see the golden age of Islam as a wonderful thing.
I worked with a Turkish guy, and he was very proud of the Ottoman Empire.
People now understand, after looking under the hood for the last 15 years, that Islam is fataly flawed. It’s founding was based on slaughtering innocent life.
15 years ago, the universal myth of a compassionate islam was alive and well. Those days are gone. I’m sure her views must have matured.
I never liked Carly until she started her run for president. I was fully prepared to trash her.... until I heard her speak a few times.
She won me over.
