On a Republican presidential debate stage expected to be filled with more than a dozen current and former politicians, Carly Fiorina envisions herself standing out — as the only woman and the only CEO.
Sensing an opportunity in a crowded field that lacks a front-runner, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive is actively exploring a 2016 presidential run. Fiorina has been talking privately with potential donors, recruiting campaign staffers, courting grass-roots activists in early caucus and primary states and planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire starting next week.

She’s going to run on the “only CEO” tag when her history as a CEO was to almost destroy HP in an absolutely disasterous tenure?
Carly is poison. Everything she touches (Lucent, HP, et al) turns to crap.
Seems to me she should be more concerned about paying the $500,000 in bills left from her previous run than running for POTUS.
IMHO, she knows she hasn’t a chance and wants to use the run to enhance her future job opportunities.
Still... I’d be fine with her as Prez...
“Carly is poison. Everything she touches (Lucent, HP, et al) turns to crap.”
Seems like she should be running as a Democrat.
Isn’t this the Demon Sheep candidate?
I hope we can hold the primary down to just 3 or 4 candidates. Running dozen is too costly and ends up weakening the cause.
She wants to run so she can have more standing to tell us and the Media how “extreme” the eventual nominee is and how they need to appeal to women and independents by being pro-choice, etc.
I saw what she did to HP and shareholders. She can take a hike...
Go away, Carly Fail-orina.
When fiorina was escorted out of HP, the Denver office spontaneously broke out in a choruses of “Ding, dong the witch is dead...” Confirmed and verified by multiple HPers...
Have you ever noticed how poop floats to the top?
Liberals in politics seem to exhibit the same behavior.
Yes, take a solid company that manufactured the best electronic test equipment bar none, and turned it into a cheap printer manufacturer.
We don’t need another short term thinker for President.
On the other hand — I wonder if there’s somebody out there to pull a Perot for Hillary as he did for Bill.
Carly, why would you do this? There’s no demand from the people that you run for President? Are you guilty about having so much money? Or what? Do something useful with your money, invest it and create jobs.
Good. She should run along with Graham, Romney, McCain, J Bush, etc and dilute the RINO vote in the primary this time around.
I suppose it would be sexist to point out that Carly falls far short of the Romney standard.
You state my thoughts exactly. She’s not qualified, her experience defines her as a corporate level “destroyer” and those who have been subjected to her management methods consider her among the highest levels of “incompetent”...
Thanks, Carly, I needed a good laugh this morning.
