Carly Fiorina has emerged as the Republican candidate of the moment in conservative fundraising circles, drawing the notice of the billionaire Koch brothers and other wealthy donors who could instantly remake her shoestring presidential campaign.

Fiorina's show-stealing performance in a Republican presidential debate last month, and her subsequent surge in the polls, has prompted industrialists Charles and David Koch to take a “serious look” at the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive, according to three sources close to the brothers.

She has now moved to the short list of candidates the Kochs may support with their reported $1 billion war chest, the sources said. Florida Senator Marco Rubio is among those on the coveted list, the sources said.

A spokesman for the Kochs declined to comment

1. seems like the kind of candidate they can politically bend and shape as they please

makes sense, she was a big-wig CEO

2. They need someone who can attack. She's good at that. Though I find it unpleasant when compared to

how Hillary attacks, which is with the facts. Koch brothers need an accomplished liar to fight against climate change legislation and Fiorina fits it to the tee.

3. This is beginning to be more & more like a bad movie. You could almost write the script yourself. nt

4. I wish these fuckers

would bankrupt themselves backing one of their favorite libertarian nutjobs.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing David and Charles look on as their mansions were auctioned off in a foreclosure auction.

5. King Maker Kochs ....

... Our wannabe Overmeisters ...

Fuck THAT!

7. Good

Let her screw them over. She's had lots of practice.
