Rising in polls, Fiorina courts women at GOP gathering

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. — Fresh off a successful debate performance and polls showing her rising in popularity, California businesswoman Carly Fiorinawas greeted by passionate crowds here Saturday at the Michigan Republican Party's Leadership Conference.
In her speech to a standing room only crowd at dinner, Fiorina laid claim to the mantle of the political outsider in the race.
"We have come to a pivotal point in our nation’s history where the potential of too many Americans is being crushed by the weight, power, cost and ineptitude of federal government and a professional political class who refuses to do anything about it," she said. "The status quo isn’t working anymore. The political class has failed us all, not because they’re bad people, but because they’ve been part of the system for so long. Leaders in a citizen government step forward, serve for a time and then they go home."

The California business woman gained some fans during her visit to Michigan, the second trip to the state this year.
"I watched the debate and she was prepared for all the questions, with facts and not a lot of bravado, but with some humor," said Marcy Jankovich, a Jackson Republican who joined several hundred people jammed into a downtown Mackinac Island bar to see Fiorina. "I say I'm a supporter, but it's still a year before the election and there is about four people on my short list. But right now, she's on top."
