carly fiorina, this is so important.ssue is the abortion platform, which is ambiguous about exceptions, and the republican platform, whether it is the issue of planned parenthood or todd akin in missouri. this is a real focus. >> yes. it is a real focus. it should be a real focus. i was immensely proud, as a republican woman, to see these awesome women leaders that spoke last week. i mean every single one of them is a bright and shining star in the republican party. and i also must say, as a woman, it makes me sad that we continue to treat women as a special interest group. women are over half of the population. they are not single issue voters. i know that people feel very strongly about abortion and abortion rights. but to try and pigeonhole women, which i think frankly the democratic party continues to milk this issue, and manipulate women, as single-issue voters and say all you care about is abortion, whatever their views are on abortion, women care about every issue. in the end, the platform, frankly, doesn't mean m

analysis from former hewlett-packard ceo carly fiorina. have you on the program again. >> great to be back with you. >> are companies just deciding that the uncertainty over the fiscal cliff just makes it too risky to hire? >> i think there are two things driving companies not to hire. the first and most fundamental is the state of the economy, thas that is, the state of demand. as you and i have talked about before, i think we actually are experiencing a simultaneous global economic slowdown, despite the relatively good news in the housing market. i think the u.s. market demand, that is, is still quite weak. europe is clearly in an even deeper recession than we had imagined, even a month ago. china's trajectory continues to go the wrong way, so i think fundamentally this is a demand problem. there's no question that uncertainty around future tax rates, uncertainty around where government policy is heading adds to that uncertainty, but a company has a very fundamental decision when they decide to increase the dividend or pay a dividend, an

american is going to realize eventually sort of the way californians did with bag whitman and carly fiorina you know who spent just fortunes trying to get themselves elected and then watched you think the average american when they see these ads that are sponsored by these nice sounding front groups for karl rove and for the for the chamber you know americans for bunnies in the field or whatever you know americans for mom and apple pie that they're going to start looking at those ads and saying that's the billionaire money i shouldn't i shouldn't be believing that do you think so. well i think part of what they will do one you know they don't know who's running these ads and people are already starting to ask questions like who are these people and they're finding out it's a handful of billionaires and it's a little uncomfortable because it's a little greasy and i think that there's a a tone to them as well that you don't get when somebody like me running for office has to be on my ad say who i am and then i i agree to the to the content of the ad . you know me i so i think there's a real o

the only way we beat big money is by working together well and then famously in california races carly fiorina and meg whitman both got trashed by current candidates who spent massively less than they did i mean the jury brown spent pennies compared to what meg meg whitman was spending of her millions and because money had become an issue in the election people people were realizing that these people were you know is a billionaire and a multimillionaire financing their own campaigns to what extent can we all or do want to what extent is the gestalt is are people waking up to the fact that money is actually an issue in this election when you see all those ads what you're seeing is money. i think that people are starting to wake up to it you know we saw occupy take on this issue head on and we're seeing right now in chicago with the teachers' strike we're seeing another place where people are rallying around working people. i'm hopeful that this is a shift that we're finally sort of getting to a place where populism is not a dirty word again or not a right wing thing where we can actually talk a

former ceo of hewlett-packard, now working to get more republicans elected to the senate this fall, carly fiorina> if it's sunday morning the democrats staged their convention in charlotte, starting on tuesday. but the president is on the campaign trail this weekend, and he fired up his attack lines against the republicans, calling the gop convention nothing more than a tv rerun, joking that you might as well have watched on quote black and white tv.

. >> carly fiorina? >> i agree. i think bill clinton is an incredibly skillful and fantastic storyteller. we heard a story in that clip that you played. his story was all the problems were caused by republicans for the last eight years. it was bill clinton that seened financial deregulation, democrats who sat and stood in opposition to reigning in fannie mae and freddie mac, which helped create the mortgage crisis. he told a great story. problem is he used some facts that helped him and ignored some facts that didn't help him. it was vintage clinton, great to watch. it was a great story. >> david? >> the democrats have now had two very good, surprisingly strong nigs. >> right. >> the stumble over the platform -- >> that was a stumble tonight. but they ended -- they had a tremendous finish. if barack obama tomorrow night can make it 3 for 3, they could break out in this election. they've been trying to do that. the dynamics have been steady all along. they have a chance. i think it's a chance, i don't think it's cert

get reaction to president obama's speech from former hewlett-packard ceo and cnbc contributor carly fiorinawe're also rejoined by greg valiare. carly, thank you very much for joining us. you've had a hectic day already. your thoughts on the president's speech. >> well, i think we knew before he started speaking that he is a good and sincere man. i think we knew that he is an eloquent and passionate speaker. i appreciate, as i always do when he speaks, the way he talks about our troops, the way he highlights individual americans and everything they've done. but honestly, i have to say, where was the beef in this speech? it was, from my point of view, a purely emotional appeal. it was empty calories. there was no nutritional value, i think. there were no specifics. he presented a set of false choices to voters based on caricaturing his opposition. or demonizing or demagoguing his opposition. honestly, i really was quite surprised by the lack of specificity and the lack of beef in this speech. >> all right, greg, the lack of beef in this speech. what's your take, buddy? >> i don't think that w

. >> it was interesting on "meet the press" last sunday, carly fiorina, a republican, she really tookats treating women like a special interest group saying look, we're pigeon holing all women into these issues like it's just about apportion and women's health and that's the only way they vote and it's insulting to treat them as a special interest group. do you understand what she's saying? >> i don't agree with the criticism. the president has said he realizes women aren't a special interest group. they're half this country. i know not all women are going to agree on these issues but as i've been traveling around to a lot of swing states, i'm hearing from women who are republican women as well as democratic women that they're concerned about them. we know they take them into account when they vote. of course, women vote on a variety of other issues, as well. >> what's this past year been like for you? has this kindled an interest in politics and political activism that you'll continue now that you're out of school? >> it's been an eventful year. it has made more clear to me what an i

you don't know carly fiorina and i don't agree anybody is pro-abortion, i disagree with almost everythingdy's been a better friend and i know i can call her, talk to her and i can have this conversation. ross -- >> we actually really dislike each other. so he's just going to skip over me. >> ross isn't a good person. but he's very, very smart. [ laughter ] people don't know he's got one kid at home, another on the way. he's banging out these columns. and his blog, which i'm reading, which i retweeted. i'm following him on twitter. i'm reading everything he writes. i think he's a brilliant guy. i just don't like how much he challenges my narrative. and finally, for the governor, this is a guy that if he chose to probably could become president if he got rid of those silly ties. but he's true. he's got higher approval rating than justin bieber. he's the real thing. just maybe would hold him back because he's too honest. he's a good guy and i look forward to all of you joining me on the radio show. and i hope cnn my unsolicited advice to you, get this gang back together. >> that's a really t

also with brian along with reaction is former hewlett packard ceo carly fiorina. >> i think the stats you just cited proved my fite. the fed has been fueling the economy over the last three years. it's not obama policies, obama administration policies, per se. it's monetary policy. the romney campaign has made it very clear they would like to replace ben bernanke. i think the market reaction would be a romney presidency equals a withdrawal of monetary accommodation. i think the market would react negatively to that. there's a lot of good things coming out of the romney campaign. this would offset it. >> carly, what's your reaction? >> the stock market right now is completely disconnected from economic reality. we're going into a simultaneous global economic slowdown. yes, the stock market has been helped because by ben bernanke's actions, equities become about the only place you can make any money. i think what romney will deliver is economic policies that begin to lift the u.s. economy. over time, that's what we need. in the short run, i think the market is going to have to come back

. >> carly fiorina?l clinton is an incredibly skillful and fantastic storyteller. and we heard a story, just in that little clip that you played. his story was, that all the problems were caused by republicans for the last eight years. it was bill clinton that signed financial deregulation. it was democrats who stood in opposition to reigning in fannie mae and freddie mac which helped create the mortgage crisis. so he told a great story. the problem is, he used some facts that helped him, and ignored some facts that didn't help him, it was vintage clinton, it was great to watch. it was a great story. >> i'd like to go back to what i said last night, the democrats have now had two very good -- surprisingly strong nights. >> they stumble over the platform, you think -- >> there was a stumble tonight, it had a slow start tonight, it was quiet. but they ended on a -- they had a tremendous finish. if barack obama tomorrow night can make it three for three, they could break out in this election. they've been t

let's start with our first lady, carly fiorina, carly. >> first off, i think michelle obama's been a really good first lady. she's an inspiring person in her own right. her focus on veterans families is very important. i think her focus on childhood obesity has been very important. she's a popular and inspiring figure. she'll give a great speech. i think her difficulty is that the american people know already that president obama is a great husband and a great father. >> right. >> so she's not going to shed a lot of light on that. i think they also know that he's a rather solitary figure. he tends to spend his spare time with a small group of friends. he doesn't engage in politicking and working to build relationships with either democrats or republicans. so for her, i think the issue is try and illuminate how is it he makes decisions? how does he think through problems? what causes him to decide one thing versus another thing? that's i think her challenge tonight. >> i think that's a good point. i think it's useful to look at it this way, first ladies tend to be more popular the les

well, the first number one most powerful woman when we started the list in 1998 was carly fiorina whoas running hp at the time. and then her successor was meg whitman. so we did have tech did dominate the list and then -- for a while. and then they left their jobs. and interestingly, meg whitman who used to be number one on our list for a few years is now ceo of hewlett-packard and is number three on our list now. >> but it's in revenue? because in market cap, those aren't the biggest tech companies. >> no, believe me, it's amazing to realize that, okay -- >> apple is bigger in market cap and that's not a woman. >> right. absolutely. but these are the two biggest companies in revenue in america. but it was not a toss up between these two women in terms of who was number one. hp's market cap is $36 billion. ibm's market cap is $236 billion. >> patty, angela browley, is she gone? >> she's gone. >> that's depressing to me. it's all about the job you have at the time. so it seems like you would gain power and still be powerful, but the minute you lose your job, you're just back to nothing
