Source: Omaha World Herald

By Robynn Tysver

Carly Fiorina is coming to western Iowa Tuesday, giving people a chance to meet the prospective Republican presidential candidate.

Fiorina, the former chief executive at Hewlett-Packard, has said she is "seriously considering" a 2016 bid for the GOP nomination.

Fiorina is making her first bid for president. In 2010, she ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate in California, losing by about 10 percentage points to Democratic U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer.

They need at least one token female in the clown car. Maybe they will have two this time? Is Senator Breadbags ready to run yet?

Western Iowa. Figures. Western Iowa is Steve King country. Western Iowa is so conservative and religious--it's crazy.

She's going there, because it's the only place in Iowa where she won't get laughed out of town.

They love hearing about how Obama hates the Constitution and that he's a Socialist who burns Bibles in the Lincoln bedroom fireplace.

Ohh…they'll eat it up!

We get hosed down with the equivalent of 500 supertankers of GOP diarrhea from all these Presidential candidates from five minutes after a Presidential election is called until the end of the Iowa caucuses.
