She has no supporters. her supporters are on the RNC. The RNC wants a woman on stage to prove GOP diversity. no one in the real world cares.

I think Carly is interesting. She speaks boldly on a number of key topics, and she cannot be accused of being sexist when she attacks Hillary or Elizabeth Warren. Carly's traclk record at HP is actually better than many people want to admit.

I wouldn't vote for her, but having her on the debate stage makes more sense to me than Christie, Kasich, Santorum Huckabee, Graham or Pataki.

At this point, we should be trying to bring out policy on topics of importance. Carly can help keep the media on track so that they actually talk policy rather than junk.

I don’t have a strong opinion on Fiorina’s merits as a candidate or whether CNN is designing to keep her off stage but the methodology of polls going back that far does seem highly suspect regardless.

I think she helps us: A woman CEO stands before the world and shows at least the appearance of articulating pro-life, pro-defense, reduced regulation and corporate influence buying. She may flunk on details, but it is good politics for conservatives to have her and Dr. Carson on center stage. It does mean something to their respective interest groups, however shallow or emotional might be their individual motives.
