CARLY SNAPS BACK – AT 10:16 A.M. ET:  While it's not definite yet, it appears that Carly Fiorina will be included in the "senior" debate September 16th, on CNN.   She is feisty and terrific, and it's just possible she will have a breakthrough moment, just as Dr. Ben Carson is breaking through right now.  She doesn't take "no" for an answer, and snaps back when challenged.  From Fox: 

Carly Fiorina said on "Hannity" last night that there's no doubt that she's among the Republican presidential front-runners, and she's excited that CNN amended the criteria for qualifying for the network's September 16 GOP debate.

Fiorina said that she takes great offense when people claim that she's only in the presidential race to get a vice presidential bid. On the "Laura Ingraham Show" today, she even dismissed such talk as "sexist."

"It would be different if all of the other candidates were asked that same question with the same regularity, but they're not," Fiorina said. "I'm the person who's asked that question over and over again. So one can only conclude that I'm getting asked that question because I'm a woman, which is disappointing."

She said that she senses that voters are looking for the most qualified candidate, man or woman, to be the next president, and she believes that is her.

COMMENT:  Good for Carly!  She punches.  And yet, if she can't get the top slot, she'd be excellent in the second.  Don't be shocked, if the next debate goes the way I think it will go, if people start talking about a Carson/Fiorina ticket.  Stranger things have happened, and both those candidates are proving that they have a certain endurance, and public appeal.  Getting interesting.
