Is Carly Fiorina getting serious about running for president? I hope so. The best and possibly only way to beat Hillary [or Warren] in 2016 is to take the whole Obama landmark election redux off the table - as with Obama the media is gonna play the 'historic moment' message to death and Hillary will skate by without ever having to enunciate a policy approach that is even remotely viable or in touch with reality - which is what she will need to do because the liberal base does't like her and therefore she's gonna have to talk a whole lot of 'hope and change' type nonsense. The only sure way to defeat this menace is for the GOP to put a woman at the top of the ticket - take away the only thing other than her husband that Hillary has going for her and force her to move to the left in order to squeeze out Warren and keep the base happy or move to the centre so as to make a case for herself that is about something other than how 'historic' her presidency would be. So if there's a viable female conservative out there with serious credentials, and the republicans I think have several, then all things being equal I want her at the top of the GOP ticket.
