Fiorina will hang around because she’s a female counterpoint to Hillary, who it appears, will be the democratic nominee. As the VP candidate, She would be useful bashing Hillary. She’s also good in a debate.
So, there are reasons to keep her beyond the fact that she did well last night. She didn’t stumble, but she didn’t resurrect her campaign either.
She doesn’t have a state to offer. No way she’ll deliver California, so what she’ll do is blunt the “I’ve got to vote for the woman” crowd. Those most likely to deliver states that already aren’t automatically in the republican column are Christie (NJ), Kasich (OH), Santorum (PA), Rubio (FL), and Carson (FL, MD, MI)
Carson is a very attractive VP candidate also because of his giving blacks a reason to break the Dem Party’s hold on their vote.
Carson was horrible last night.
