Quote:thats part of it. but he is also a softer republican than what there has been over the last decade.  Not everyone is looking for a seasoned politician and many want more of an everyday man that hasn't been corrupted by Washington yet.  He fits the mold there.

I don't know if I'd describe him as "soft". In fact, the only really soft things about him that I've noticed are his voice and demeanor onstage. He's taking a pretty hard line on a lot of issues, and it does tend to jive with the Republican stance. Again, though, he's one of those candidates that I can't help but wonder if the words coming out of his mouth now match what he really believes, and if those words would hold true once he's in office.

 

I still don't get the Carly Fiorina love. She's excellent with a mic in front of her, but, I mean, has anyone looked at her track record as a businesswoman? Her most notable accomplishment was taking a thriving HP and nuking it, which is kind of funny given that she wants to nuke the rest of the world. If being a miserable failure of a CEO is qualification to run the country, we need to find Lee Ioccacca right now. Jeff Smisek can be his running mate.
