A Voter Gravity Poll [link at URL] released Friday shows Fiorina with 22 percent support among Granite State GOP Primary voters. She has a 4-point edge over her nearest competitor, billionaire Donald Trump, who has 18 percent support. ...
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
The problems at Lucent did not come to light until she was ensconced at HP.
Look if it makes you feel better to chase some phantom poll for a couple of days be my guest. Fiorino is the GOPe candidate de jour. She is not a conservative so for you middle of the roaders who want to keep the border open I guess she’s a choice. :-)
As a woman, I would not vote for Carly! My anti dream team is jebito/carly. My dream team is trump/cruz.
My uncle was forced to retire early from Lucent.
She'd be toast in a week
Not to mention she will remind every man in America of the time some women trying to act like a man got affirmatively action hired and promoted over him, failed, and walked away with a huge settlement
Stop being charmed by her delivery ( if you can get past her crazy eyes) and actually consider what she promises
Like not talking to Putin
And go back and read what she said about Islam after 911
But now we know who his candidate is.
Carly FioRINO is just the latest GOPe flash in the pan, the designated hitter to try and take out Trump.
Destroyed Lucent.
Damn near destroyed Hewlett Packard.
Blew a Senate race against Barbara Boxer that was winnable.
Uh uh, don’t think so.
Thanks; that makes sense. There is a lot on the web about all of this.
It’s very good news for Trump he is in a fight with Fiorina and not Bush or Kasich. Her record is non existent.
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
No ad hominem attacks...just facts, about this *polling* firm....
Here’s some of their previous *genious* polls....

This Weeks Presidential Flash Poll: Walker Ahead in Colorado
Written by Chris Littletonon March 18, 2015 in Blog
We happily acknowledge early polling has more to do with name ID and familiarity, but the results are clearly showing a trend, not only in Voter Gravity flash polls, but also with other national polling Scott Walker has solidified his position as a Tier 1 candidate.
Not much of a track record, to speak of.
No thanks!!!
I love to post on Free Republic. hahahahahahahahaha
Fiorina is totally anti/non PC, is a true anti-establishment candidate, is an outsider if ever there was one
Is THAT really the statement you want to hang your hat on?
Tells all.
You nailed it! Fly monkeys fly!
“Fiorina is totally anti/non PC, is a true anti-establishment candidate, is an outsider if ever there was one, and has really evolved in the areas that count.”
At which point Fiorina, then a campaign surrogate for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, offered some unprompted praise for Clinton: If Fiorina hadnt been backing McCain, she told me, she would have been for Clinton.
Thats off the record, Fiorina immediately added.

LADY PUSHES MCCAIN ON HILLS DEMOCRATS
New York Post (NY) - September 2, 2008

A McCain adviser, she and I had a little talk. Carly said: With my title as Sen. McCains victory chairman, I have my own skybox at the convention. Such a skybox is usually filled with the party faithful. However, instead of all devoted Republicans, what you will meet in my individual skybox is many Democrats.
(snip)
Look, in terms of Democratic women, theres an intensity of feeling that the party passed them over. Ive not been politically active before. Never had an affiliation before. Didnt even know the key issues. But John McCain asked me to reach out because I can talk about economy and I can talk about womens issues, so I got involved.
Im meeting with these women everywhere Colorado, Ohio, Nevada, Scranton, Penn., where Joe Bidens so big. Every important swing state, every place where Hillary ran big. Not New York because we may not win New York.
These women are right now being told, The party doesnt own your vote.
And because of what happened to me at Hewlett Packard, women empathize with me the same way they empathize with Hillary. Were both fighters.
So, Carly, about these women youre reaching out to. Theyre not Republicans youre massing for McCain? Theyre all Democrats?
Yes. Im a primary advocate, but a very public spokesperson in getting new votes. Pulling Democratic womens votes into the Republican fold. I am infiltrating the Democratic Party. Going behind the lines. However, Im not an enemy. Im helping them. Theyre welcoming me, delighted to learn about issues that concern women. Especially the economy. After all, women start small businesses. And, dont forget, we women are the majority.
(snip)
So, basically, what are you saying? I asked.
Look, put it this way. Hillarys people are working with me. My people are meeting with Democratic activists, Hillary activists, party activists who have been in her campaign. Were going to places where Hillary won handily.
Specifically targeting those areas. And before Obamas expected bounce from the Democratic convention, youll notice John McCains numbers were creeping up.
That was all because of us. What were doing. The inroads hes making are with Democratic women. Its grass-roots. Were connecting with the undecideds. We began to reach out as soon as Hillary lost.
So, Carly, hon, does Hillary know or not?
Carly Fiorinas diamond and pearl earrings bobbled as she turned head-on to me. People very very close to Hillary are heavily involved in this operation. And I just had lunch with a huge Hillary supporter whos onboard.

How Carly Fiorina managed and advised the poobahs at Langley.
One week after 9/11, Michael Hayden, the director of the National Security Agency, the electronic surveillance arm of the U.S. government, had a long list of problems. High on the list was the fact that the NSA needed a ton of new high-tech equipment, particularly servers, right away, to handle a vastly expanded, critically important workload.
Hayden called up the CEO of Hewlett Packard, Carly Fiorina. HP made precisely the equipment we needed, and we needed in bulk, says Robert Deitz, who was general counsel at the NSA from 1998 to 2006. Deitz recalls that a tractor-trailer full of HP servers and other equipment was on the Washington, D.C. Beltway, en route to retailers, at the very moment Hayden called. Fiorina instructed her team to postpone the retailer delivery and have the driver stop. An NSA police car met up with the tractor-trailer and the truck proceeded, with an armed escort, to NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland. I
t was an early moment in the close professional relationship between Hayden and Fiorina. Five years later, President George W. Bush named Hayden director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Upon assuming control at Langley, Hayden decided that he wanted to create an External Advisory Board. He once again turned to Fiorina, and she went on to chair that board.
The most obvious knock on Fiorinas newly announced presidential bid is that she has never been elected to any government office. But during the Bush presidency, Fiorina walked the corridors of the CIA and other high offices of government, assembling recommendations for national-security policy and developing a close working relationship with some of the most powerful officials in the administration. Shes already begun to cite these years in an attempt to counter those critics who say she lacks the experience needed to be commander-in-chief.

I give her credit for working in her PP fastball on the back of a question about the Iran deal. She's done her homework, but her delivery comes off very haughty.
