Carley has Arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The GOP will get their lady candidate. I suppose Sarah was busy. I hear she is supposed to announce tomorrow. Expect lots of fanfare. I think we all know her sole purpose for getting into the race is to attack Hillary. As a woman, she will be able to say things the men can't. Hide and watch folks! This is going to be fun.

would be a serious candidate and that she would not be if all she did was attack Clinton. Now I think she is being paid off to run specifically just to attack Clinton. After all, it is not like she has any real skills.

Took a profitable, successful company and ran it straight into the sewer. That takes some sort of "talent" I guess.

I knew about the oil company nearly heading into the ground, thought he did that with the Texas Rangers baseball team as well...and had to sell it.

what she will imply. I am specifically watching for implications on abortion, women's rights, stuff like that. The men running will be a bit more leery about saying certain things without being called sexist.

Do Republicans ever do ANYTHING politically based on earnestly held beliefs? No. They only know manipulation and deceit.

I used to work at HP, where employees were literally dancing in the aisles and singing "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" when her departure was announced.

I'd rather give an enema to Jabba the Hutt than endure Carly Fiorina as President...
