Carly Fiorina Builds Kick-Ass Campaign Team...Somewhere

A press release from Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina today announces her new “leadership committee” for a state she calls Colorado:

Republican leaders and activists in Colorado have endorsed Carly Fiorina for President of the United States. From business leaders to elected officials, Carly Fiorina is proving that her conservative outsider message is resonating with Republicans across Colorado. These leaders are part of a growing group of prominent citizens comprising a Colorado leadership committee.

Vic Stabio, CEO of Hallador Energy, is joining State House Minority Whip Perry Buck and Camp Bow Wow CEO Heidi Ganahl as a Colorado Co-Chair supporting Carly Fiorina in her candidacy for President of the United States.

We wouldn’t consider her a goodwill ambassador, but at least we’ve heard of Rep. Perry Buck of Windsor–though not exactly a household name. Other members of Fiorina’s “leadership committee” announced today include Tony Gagliardi of the National Federation of Independent Business and Centennial councilwoman Stephanie Piko. Again, we’re not talking A-Listers.

Of course, maybe the reason we don’t recognize many members of Fiorina’s Colorado team is that we’re not actually talking about Colorado?

“Carly’s outsider perspective to Washington politics is resonating in the Boulder State,” said Tom Szold, National Political Director. [Pols emphasis]

Folks, where the hell is the “Boulder State?” Because as any member of Fiorina’s Colorado leadership committee could surely have told the front office, Colorado is known as the Centennial State. We do recall political campaigns in the past where Republicans have tried to portray Colorado as ruled by the liberal stronghold city of Boulder–think Dick Wadhams and “BoulderliberalMarkUdall”–but it’s just not reality. And if it were, we’re pretty sure Republicans would not bother campaigning for President there.

It could be worse–we suppose Fiorina could have subbed Denali for Pikes Peak on her website. But between Fiorina’s underwhelming list of local endorsers and a political director who can’t even get the state’s nickname right, we’re thinking she’s not going to factor much in our Republican primary.
