Fiorina drops out

This campaign was always about citizenship -- taking back our country from a political class that only serves the big, the powerful, the wealthy, and the well connected. Election after election, the same empty promises are made and the same poll-tested stump speeches are given, but nothing changes. I've said throughout this campaign that I will not sit down and be quiet. I'm not going to start now.

Lies, Carly Fiorina and Abortion

There has been an impressive amount of angry liberal commentary, which has spilled over into the mainstream press coverage (or do I repeat myself?) of the issue, about how in the last Republican presidential debate Carly Fiorina allegedly cited an entirely imaginary video in order to make a crazy claim about Planned Parenthood’s brain-harvesting ghoulishness that’s totally unsupported by the facts.

Carly Fiorina Getting Attention in Iowa’s Romney Counties

Carly Fiorina’s support in the polls has climbed since the latest GOP debate. Another measure—Google search traffic data— puts a finer point on her gains. It shows that Mrs. Fiorina is seeing a spike in attention from a particularly important group of places: Iowa counties that voted for Mitt Romney in the 2012 GOP Caucus.
Iowa’s conservatives, among them tea party supporters and evangelical Christians, are spread across Iowa. By contrast, the party’s establishment bloc is mostly concentrated in counties based around large population centers. Win them and you likely will do well in the state.

How Carly Fiorina managed and advised the ‘poobahs’ at Langley. (from 2014)

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.
