Carly Fiorina: The Little Train That Couldn't

[Miles Archer]

"Last night was a beginning. As of 4 p.m. yesterday, only 40% of Republican voters had ever heard my name," she said. "I have the lowest name identification of anyone in the race because I'm not a professional politician and I'm not a celebrity."

Fellow Republican candidate Rick Perry praised Fiorina's negotiating skills during the earlier debate, alluding to her experience as the first woman to lead one of the top 20 U.S. companies.

But Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, speaking Friday on "New Day," responded to Fiorina's attacks on Hillary Clinton in the debate by slamming her record while at the helm of HP.

"Fiorina's comments are rich coming from someone who almost drove a Fortune 500 company into the ground, who was fired as a result, whose stock dropped by 50% when she was CEO," she said. "This is a woman who doesn't have the track record of managing a large organization and now she's running for President of the United States?"

1. I just saw a clip of her from last night using the term "Democrat party". You'd think that one

would get old by now. I find it hard to see how they find that amusing.

2. It's childish.

And very un-presidential. I guess it's okay if you're some right wing shock jock but for a person seeking the highest office on the planet it's pretty embarrassing.

3. Good God she looks so mean

She makes Nurse Rached look like a cutie. I don't know if it's just her natural look or if it;s a cultivated look but I would hate to be in a prison hospital and have her be my nurse. I know looks are not everything, but I have to think her mean looks are one of the reasons for her popularity with the psychopaths.

7. Decades in Corporate Amerika will do that to you...

It also ruins your chances of being a good president. I can't recall a single 'businessman' who was a good president. In fact, I would be willing to bet that most of the historical depressions and recessions happened during administrations headed by 'businessmen.'

8. Truman was an unsuccessful businessman.

He owned a small business. Pretty good prez, though.

11. Like Voldemort - he became disfigured after each piece of his soul was lost.

I think that theory applies here. The more people you fire, the more pallid you become whether firing people bothers you or not.

4. Way to go Debbie!

5. K&R...

6. Almost every channel pundit and most of the columnists

said Carly won the debate(s) and they wished she had been on the main stage last night. Reading her resume is nightmarish; she's a bitter person and the only thing she seems able to do is slam Hillary.

9. The British have a wonderful expression that

describes her to a "T": 'She's a nasty piece of work'.

10. A little fun fact...

2 prominent Republican women of similar ages. Both have been the CEO of HP, one still is (the post-split HP enterprise). Both laid off many workers during their time, one still does. Both lost in California for their respective races they entered, Senator to Boxer and Governor to Brown. I know there is a physical difference, but have you ever seen Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman in the same room. Too much similarity to be spooky.
