Carly Fiorina will be on the Republican ticket


Or Hillary Clinton will probably be our next President.

In last night's debate, she stood head and shoulders above the rest, dismissing Jake Tapper's gotcha questions out of hand, when asked the feely-tickly-what-kind-of-tree-are-you question what woman she would put on the $10 bill, sneering that such a thing was an empty gesture and that she wouldn't change the currency at all.

And then, of course, this.

The term I would use is Reaganesque. This woman is the real deal.

UPDATE (as they say): The Washington Examiner's post-CNN debate power rankings.

  1. I agree. And I like Marco Rubio as Vice President.

    Wish Walker was doing better, but oh well. You go to war with the army you have.

    1. He did the right thing. Wish some others would do the same.

    2. I agree with Pauli. And I'm especially looking at you, John Kasich and Mike Huckabee.

  2. I like what Carly says, a lot. But her HP tenure makes me think she's not the best decision-maker.* Flip Pauli's ticket around (Rubio might be my new fave candidate), and I'm good with it tho.

    *This could be some bias on my part. To an electrical engineer trained in the '70s and working as such in the '80s, the destruction of the culture of HP is darn near unforgivable. HP was the gold standard of tech -- their products were of the highest quality, and everyone knew of the "HP Way", even if you didn't work there. The Compaq merger and the destruction of what defined HP were a singular tragedy. And all we've heard in response is that "times were tough for all tech companies then" and "the board was dysfunctional". That's not enough for me.

    This is a contemporaneous recap that I found earlier this week, but which today brings a 404.

    1. Well then maybe she can go to Washington and throw the culture out and if she's President, she won't get canned....

      Only half joking. The way Huckabee lost my support in 2008 was by saying that he was your lunchbox buddy whereas Romney was the guy who gave you your papers. Well, I want someone to go to Washington and do some, uh, consolidation. It would definitely take some brass ones--maybe she's got 'em.

    2. I'm not getting a 404 on that link, Pik. The whole thing is there.

    3. I meant to say that the original link to the story I found is now a 404. I used the Wayback Machine to get the good link in the comment.
