Republican Fiorina Takes Aim at Clinton in Iowa
ABC News ^ | Jan 24, 2015 | ABC News

Businesswoman Carly Fiorina is introducing herself to Iowa's Republican voters by drawing contrast with the top prospective candidate on the Democratic side.

Fiorina went hard at Hillary Rodham Clinton in a speech Saturday at the Iowa Freedom Summit. Fiorina cast the former secretary of state as a disappointment on the world stage who failed to defuse serious foreign policy threats.

more from DesMoines Register:

With a calm tone and polished delivery, Fiorina introduced herself to Iowans as a business-savvy outsider, the kind capable of creating real change in government.

"Like Hillary Clinton, I too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe," Fiorina said. "But unlike her, I've actually accomplished something."

That line prompted applause, hoots and hollers.

I was quite impressed with Carly Fiorina's polished delivery and poise. Her voice is well modulated and not high pitched. She spoke clearly, and I could clearly hear every word, which is not always true because my hearing is sub-normal.

I wonder if she is raising her profile, to run for senator in California.

Yes Carly, run as a democrat, drain their campaign funds, then govern as a republican. Good luck with two of the previous. And I mean it.

Did you listen to her speech by any chance? She ticked off a lot of her accomplishments in her speech. I have not downloaded her speech so I can’t list them all here.

Did she mention to them that she Fu**ed up Lucent as well as HP, and every one at HP hated her guts?

Or write a new book perhaps. IDK.
Mainly I was impressed with her poise during the speech. I am not a supporter.

Carly ran against Boxer in 2010, got just 42% of the vote (the 2nd worst showing against Boxer by a GOP challenger). She did get a higher % of the vote than Meg Whitman the same election running against Jerry Brown for Governor.

Too bad The Corporate Bimbo did not handle HP as well as The Cellulite Queen handled Bill's Bimbo Eruptions.

Ain't a dime's worth'o'difference between Fiorina and Hillary. Take these two, throw in The Injun Princess Warren and give'em a TV show. Just keep'em out of power.

Well, if one wants the Islamic world destroyed. And if one could equate the Islamic world with Hewlett Packard,,,,,,,
then she would be a great candidate.

Her greatest accomplishments are trashing Lucent and almost destroying Hewlett Packard before she was thrown out.

Lucent, the spun off Bell Labs, was one of the most innovative companies in the world.

and you believe her accomplishments? Have you verified them?

I hear she pretty much ran HP into the ground and she already ran for Senate in 2010. In 2008 she was part of the McCain campaign and said Palin didn’t have the experience and skills to run a company like HP, but that’s fine because they are different things. Her media appearances for the campaign were cut off.

Since she herself said that, I guess she can’t use her business experience to run for office.

Fiorina does take conservative positions on abortion, gay marriage and all that, but I still don’t think it matters.

That would make sense.

Her running for President does not.
