politics and politicians Title: Carly Fiorina is pandering so hard to Iowans, she wants the Hawkeyes to beat her alma mater Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive and current candidate for the Republican nomination for president, is a 1976 graduate of Stanford University, whose football team is playing in Friday's Rose Bowl. This must be exciting for Fiorina. How many times does a university alumna get to watch her own alma mater play in the granddaddy of all college football bowl games, right in that school's home state? Pretty awesome, I'd bet.
Except, Stanford is playing Iowa. And the Iowa caucuses – the first official voting in the presidential primary electoral process – are one month from Friday. Surely, that has nothing to do with Fiorina's view of this college football game.
Iowa fans tend to live in Iowa, and that tends to make them eligible caucus-goers. Fiorina is polling at about 2 or 3 percent in that state, which, again, is surely unrelated to her decision to turn heel on her own school and root for a Big Ten program located in a state where she's never lived or worked. Just remember, Hawkeyes fans: Fiorina likes you for your grind-it-out brand of offense and athletic secondary, not because she wants your vote.

#2. To: Willie Green (#0) Upon a little research I found her tweet here: twitter.com/CarlyFiorina/...9911040?ref_src=twsrc^tfw This is shameful.
#3. To: Willie Green (#0) Sometimes people just need to know when to give up. My best GUESS is that at this point she is shooting for a VP slot to attract the women voters in a run against Hillary. Getting 5 percent of the vote in Iowa instead of 3 percent will change nothing. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them. #4. To: Fred Mertz (#2) This is shameful. And Stanford is up 35-zip in the 2nd Qtr. LOL!
#5. To: Willie Green (#0) I doubt Iowans are taking her sudden passion for Iowa football too seriously.
#6. To: Willie Green (#0) Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive... I am disgusted with her being descibed as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. She was nothing but an actress acting out superficial resemblance of a CEO through aggressiveness and sparkle of personality. She could not "walk the halls" as did Hewlett and Packard as Hewlett and Packard did for 50+ years to maintain a hands on grip and direction of what was happening. She was all superficiality and pizzazz with no concrete technical expertise. We have a lot of them like that in recent generations who are photogenic hit and run operations.
#7. To: TooConservative (#5) I doubt Iowans are taking her sudden passion for Iowa football too seriously. I'm sure any sports fan takes her sellout for what it is. A pandering joke. Stanford kicked Iowa's butt all over the field. She should have backed a winner.
#8. To: Fred Mertz (#7) (Edited) A pandering joke. A perfect description of the Iowa caucuses. Again, knowing a few Iowans, I would say they don't give it a second thought. This kind of pandering is often done as warmup jokes with a crowd or on local radio interview spots for a candidate trying to introduce themselves in Iowa. IA/NH/SC are used to being pandered to and they expect to be pandered to. And it works too, up to a certain point. This is why we have the federal ethanol program. I do think it's funny that a little pandering in Iowa has thrown you into full-bitch mode. Probably more so than anyone in Iowa.
