Honestly, how many people are going to look at that headline and not realize that Carly Fiorina is even running for the Republican nomination? Aren't they going to think the destroyer of HP is running as a Democrat?

Hillary's book has almost the same title as a wannabe who will never get the Republican nomination. Welp. Time to wrap it up and accept Democratic nominee Thomas Carcetti Martin O'Malley.

I kind of dislike calling Clinton dynastic. People were saying she could be the first woman president when she was still in school. She got together with Bill in part because they were both politically ambitious. Because of our patriarchal society, an anti dynasty sentiment that includes spouses almost always ends up delegitimizing female candidates.

If we are talking the role of attitudes in this, the need for a woman leader to appear "harder than a man" to overcome the stereotypes has led to the women heads of state in western countries to be from conservative parties (eg Thatcher, Merkel)

Fiorina is shooting for VP. Jeb is going about being the "technology candidate" in the dumbest way, so it follows that he'd pick the failure CEO from a poo poo company no one has admired since 1996. May as well roll out the campaign in a AOL live chat, keyword: RISE

Running for President is not a particularly good way to get the Republican Veep nod historically, particularly if you can't manage a strong second place finish.

Republicans these days can't manage a strong first place finish, much less 2nd.

What about her? She got the position in a weird way, initially gaining it by revolting against the then current PM (who was from her own political party) and then after the real election only barely holding onto the office by kow-towing to independent voters in the face of an opposition party that actually got a higher percentage of the vote than she did. Then her own party booted her out in favor of the guy she had originally revolted against. The public hated her in a way that it hasn't hated Merkel or (in her time) Thatcher and hasn't so far hated Hillary.

If she manages to stay out of any major scandals for the next year and Hilary becomes the democratic nominee I'd give her better than even odds of being the vp choice. I don't see another vagina-haver in as good of a position on the R side so yep.
