The Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh away...

...Carly Fiorina is getting a lot of press about her performance on Thursday, and about how she deserves to be considered a "major" candidate. Perhaps so, but if she's going to rise, someone's got to be demoted to the junior-varsity, unless the next debate host is going to change the participation rules...

I watched the JV competition with a friend who was unfamiliar with her. During the debate, he said, "She's the only one who comes across as able to pass an IQ test."

I said that she is a horrible human being, and among the very last people who should ever be considered as a potential president. He said, "Exactly, Patrick. That's what these two debates are -- the very last people who should be president. And the more horrible she is, the more popular she will become in the primaries."
