Fiorina, Carson and Huckabee

No they're not personal injury attorneys, just the next three entries to the Republican race for the White House.

Carly Fiorina is best known as the former C.E.O. of Hewlett-Packard where she terminated 30,000 employees. She herself was also canned by H.P. She worked on John McCain's Presidential campaign in 2008 until she said publicly that neither McCain or Palin were qualified to run a company. She said this twice at which point McCain's people invited her to get lost, which she did. She ran for the U.S. Senate against Barbara Boxer of California in 2010, she lost by double digits. Now she's running for President because according to her she understands technology and that can help Americans. She also blames California's drought problem on environmentalists.

Ben Carson is a retired neurosurgeon with a compelling personal story of success. He is a darling of the far right, he is also batshit crazy and I'm being kind. He says he's not a politician and doesn't want to be. Yet he wants to be President of the United States, the pinnacle of politics in the world. That's strange Ben but no problem because you will never be President and have to worry about being a politician.

Mike Huckabee can be very likeable, but then you actually listen to what he's saying and you realize he is a narrow minded demagogue who's vision of the United States is to return to the nineteenth century. Since his 2008 run for the Presidency he became a conservatainer, made a lot of money and decreased his brain cell count. His rhetoric has become more vitriolic and his likeability among independents has dramatically dropped. He hated the idea of raising money in 2008, wonder how he feels about it now?
