Carly the (Conservative) Communicator
Last night, when I heard Sean Hannity ask former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin what she would do to get the economy growing again, I hoped you would reply in the same manner as former HP CEO Carly Fiorina did when Greta van Susteren asked her a similar question.
In one minute (the segment runs from 0:54 to about 1:54), the California Republican Senatorial candidate identifies her priority (job creation), says what we need to do (go to the job creators) and provides a story which illustrates the problem which needs to be addressed (an innovator who found it easier to set up shop in Ukraine than in the Golden State). In short, she is saying, we need to remove regulations which make it difficult for entrepreneurs to create jobs in California.
I would expect that in future television appearances she will detail the legislation she would support to streamline regulation.
With unemployment the big issue on people’s minds, Carly Fiorina is talking exactly how Republicans should be talking, reminding us that big government impedes job creation. And she did it all in under a minute (considering that Greta was talking for part of that time).
I trust this video will show why I’m so bullish on Carly. She has barely announced her candidacy for the Senate and she has demonstrated an ability to succinctly articulate conservative solution to our nation’s problems. Let’s hope she can retain her poise and eloquence in less friendly exchanges.

OK, I admit it. Fiorina is good. (Despite the occasional greenspeak and despite her campaign web site seeming to be the only source for her claim to have opposed Porkulus.)

I have always felt that Christine McVie is a much better musician and singer than Stevie Nicks. Fiorina is McVie to Palin’s Nicks. Sorry, gang, but Nicks is the one you watch. Fiorina has the same off-putting wonkishness of Al Gore. Maybe she is better prepared, but she just doesn’t have that spark. She’d make a great Secretary of State under Palin, doing the actual work while Palin makes the speeches and wows the crowds.
Palin is like a Nascar driver. Frankly, her job isn’t that hard–the real work is the crew chief and the crew. Palin’s the front man, the one who shakes the hands and signs the posters. Fiorina would make a great crew chief.

I am impressed by Carly. Didn’t know she just went through a battle with cancer.
She talks policy in a very clear manner.
Sarah Palin doesn’t. I hope Sarah will stay active in the Republican party as a strong voice for others. She herself needs more experience.
I”d love to see her as a senator from Alaska. Jumping right to the top (president) is just not good for the country.

Fiorina is worrisome on immigration (we really need guest workers???) but I will support anyone that has a chance at unseating the truly awful Ma’am Boxer.
How can we elect such stupid people?

It’s not rocket science with regard to whether a social liberal or social conservative addresses the need for job creation by reducing corporate taxes and marginal taxes for job and revenue creation. Unfortunately, we’re dealing with a group of liberal, if not socialist, Keynesians willing to make the country relive the 1930′s. If the Republican Party is able to separate their sexual behavior from their political philosophy, I see a decisive victory over moderate and liberal Democrats by the combined forces of the liberals and conservatives within the Republican Party, but that’s only if the liberal Republicans can separate their sexual behavior from their political philosophy. Newt Gingrich was not able to do so. Adhering to conservative principles and constitutional government, instead paying lip service to Reaganism, as so many liberal Republicans are want to do, will prevent the demise of the Republican Party.

It would be great it you could post Sarah Palins’ response to this question (if she gets asked). Not to knock Palin but I think I because I like her (huntin & fishin, turkey slaughtering in the background – it’s a lesbians dream come true) it’s hard to filter stuff.
