Carly Fiorina is hitting the campaign trail in all the key presidential battleground states.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO and unsuccessful 2010 Senate candidate makes no secret of the fact that she has not closed the door to a bid for the White House in 2016, but says her recent trips to places like Iowa and New Hampshire are for the express purpose of helping to elect Republicans this fall.

“We're trying to unlock the potential of conservative women to persuade other women to get out and vote,” Fiorina told “The Fine Print” during a recent interview at “The Iron Gate” restaurant in Washington, D.C....

“As a conservative woman, I'm tired of the Democrats’ war on women,” she said. “I'm tired of [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi saying outrageous things like a Republican majority will end civilization as we know it, and the GOP is the Ray Rice of politics. I'm just tired of it.”

1. Truly disgusting person.

Let her try. She's more tone deaf than Romney.

[notadmblnd]

2. didn't she already run for something and lose?

yep. I read in the OP is was for Senate. If her own damn state didn't want her representing them. why would she think the country would?

[Warpy]

3. Skinny and thus "hawt," check

Track record as a failed corporate CEO, check.

Skilled in blabbering and talking over any opponent, check.

Yeah, you might be right but I doubt she'll be anything but a second banana.

4. If she can't win the Senate, what makes her think she'll win the Presidency

a full 6 years later, when she's even LESS relevant?

[notrightatall]

5. She f'ed up HP, she'd be worse than Rmoney.

[gopiscrap]

11. Welcome to DU

[Johonny]

23. +1 She is the face of the GOP

failed CEO that made off with millions while ruining the company she ran.

[Cartoonist]

6. She lost in Ca

The killing ground for statewide republicans. Would probably do well running for local office in a repub zone. Might do well in a blue state outside the south like Iowa. Nationwide? Not a chance.

7. Heh! A Fiorina/Rmoney ticket? Well they are guaranteed at least 1% of the vote!!

[catbyte]

8. Awesome! She can tank the country just like she tanked HP.

Oh, joy...

[Wounded Bear]

9. Good Gawd!

If she's the answer, what could the question possibly be?

[customerserviceguy]

10. Even they know what an idiot she is

Everything she's touched has turned to crap. Thank goodness the McCain campaign was one of them.

[Arkana]

12. Pfffffft ahahahahahahahahahaha NO.

Everyone who knows Fiorina hates her for the hatchet job she performed on HP.

[CaptainTruth]

13. "The Democrats' war on women??????"

Good god, do Republicans take EVERYTHING they do & project it onto someone else?

Apparently, yes, they do.

Anyone whose grip on reality is so utterly distorted is not fit to govern.

[That Guy 888]

14. God what is that gopper running for office? So yesterday! n/t

15. Little league vs The St Louis Cardinals is the right analogy here.

Carly is little league and Hillary is the MLB.
Bring it Carly.
Please.

[KamaAina]

16. You're gonna wish you hadn't said that

the Cards are going down hard in the NLCS. Hopefully that won't give Carly's "campaign" any sort of boost.

[TeamPooka]

17. How is the little league team doing in the NLCS?

[KamaAina]

18. A) It hasn't started yet.

B) The 2010 and 2010 world champion Giants are not a Little League team which you cannot prove so stop saying that!

[jmowreader]

20. Yes, Bob

Damn, why did MrBenchley have to go out and get himself tombstoned?

[KamaAina]

21. Seriously.

One of the all-time greats.

[yellowcanine]

19. Republican Great Female Hope to go with their Great Black Hope Ben Carson.

Republicans are forever trotting out these Great (Fill in the Blank) Hopes. Sometimes they combine several - as in the Great Black Businessman Hope (Herman Caine)

[jmowreader]

22. Here's the real question the GOP needs to ask

"If the Democrats were to run Mel Carnahan for president in 2016 (Mel Carnahan, my child, is the man who beat John Ashcroft out of his Senate seat three weeks after Carnahan died in a plane crash) do we have anyone who can beat him?" The fact they're considering running Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, Allen West, and probably Boss Hogg as their standard-bearer says, to me at least, they don't.
