First of all…..in case you were under a rock or a 400 lb woman/man you probably missed the big story of the day…..Joe Biden will NOT run for the Dem nomination in 2016…..maybe now the media will move on and report on real news and leave the speculation to bloggers…..okay?

After the last GOP debate I gave Carly the thumbs up….not because I agree with her on much but because she showed that she could stand toe to toe with the “big boys” and hold her own.

Apparently I was not alone….her poll numbers went up by a wide margin over her opponents…..she could not just ride the tide to success….nope….she had to double down on a couple of lies and she is now falling like a lead toilet…..

A CNN poll out Tuesday has bad news for Carly Fiorina: In one month, she’s gone from 15% to 4% and slipped from second place into a tie for seventh. Her support seems to be cratering even as support for the other two “outsider” candidates, Donald Trump and Ben Carson, is rising. What’s going on? For one thing, the GOP hasn’t had a debate in weeks, and that’s where Fiorina has shined, writes David Graham at the Atlantic. She’s also struggled to get what Graham calls “earned media,” or consistent attention in the press. “It’s also possible, though, that Fiorina’s support was never really there, that she was a paper tiger erected by the press,” writes Graham. “She doesn’t seem to have a natural constituency, doesn’t have much establishment support, and doesn’t have the same mix of charisma and outlandish comments that has boosted Trump.”

At the Christian Science Monitor, Peter Grier writes that Fiorina has gone through a classic cycle of an underdog candidate—”discovery, scrutiny, and decline.” Her performance in the debates got her discovered, but then negative headlines followed about her tenure as CEO at Hewlett-Packard and then over allegations that she exaggerated the content of Planned Parenthood videos. But here’s the upside for Fiorina backers: “The ‘decline’ part of the new candidate cycle does not have to be permanent,” writes Grier. “Some hopefuls survive the scrutiny phase, take some lumps, and then rise again.” Considering that Fiorina got a big fundraising bump during her rise in the polls and has $5.5 million on hand, she has a chance to do just that.

She may by the grace of God make the next GOP debate….but unless she finds a way to counter her negative numbers she will be sent packing back to the “kiddie table” debate…….

Looks like she was just ….a shooting star…..
