I’m a Ted Cruz fan. At the same time, I find myself increasingly intrigued by Carly Fiorina.
She speaks like no one else in the field. Perhaps, in part, because she’s not a politician.
At the outset of many of her speeches, she tells a personal story about being a little girl in Sunday school when her mother said: “What you are, is God’s gift to you. What you make of yourself, is your gift to God.”
After that, she often shares the following:
I started my career as a secretary in a little nine person real estate firm. And ultimately I would become the Chief Executive Officer of the largest technology company in the world and run for president of the United States. That’s only possible in the United States of America…because our founders knew what my mother taught me. Our founders knew that everyone has God given gifts. Our founders built a nation on the visionary, and at the time radical idea, that every life has potential. And that everyone has the right -- the right -- to fulfill their potential. That is what our founders meant when they talked about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And they believed that right to fulfill our potential came from God and should not be taken away by man or government.
In just a few short minutes, Fiorina manages to interweave personal stories with core values that include faith in God, limitless human potential, and the greatness of America.
Her speeches don’t sound like they have built-in applause lines. She simply speaks. If people clap, that’s fine. She doesn’t appear to expect it or revel in it.

No problem....I think back on Merle’s “Mama Tried” as my defense.
And what makes her the best qualified set of ovaries? She's a RINO. She ran a disastrous senate campaign. She got fired by the board of HP.
“And what makes her the best qualified set of ovaries?”
Like I said, it doesn’t really matter to me, so I’m probably the wrong person to answer that question. At the moment, I think she is the only set of ovaries in the Republican primary though, no? Wouldn’t that make hers the most qualified by default?
I’d like to see Sarah back out on the main stage.
Carly Fiorina is informed and articulate. She trashes Hillary like nobody’s business. She might be a good choice for VP.
Future Governor of California! With a GOP Assembly she just might fix the state!
That would be a good thing, I believe. I might even end my boycott of the state. ;-)
What gives you the indication of your estimate?
How does that equate to a better choice when one factors in all the conservative factors?
Always willing to listen and learn.
It says nothing about how conservative they are. Palin and I are both very conservative. More so than Fiorina. But Fiorina has the intellect and wit to not allow herself to be marginalized by the msm. I see that as the difference. I base my estimates of IQ on nothing more than listening to them both. So you can take that fwiw.
