Fiorina announced on Good Morning America this morning; Carson planned to announce today, but jumped the gun on an Ohio TV station yesterday.
Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson Throw Their Hats in the Ring

So what? Is that all? And she's running for POTUS?? Really?
No name recognition, no real qualifications = No chance.
Let her run for a governorship of some state, win that election, then a reelection. Then she can at least have some type of record to run on. But running for POTUS at this stage with no real experience to speak of is way too much, way too early. Jmho

You have to go all the way back to Ike when someone who never held an elected office before became POTUS.
At least Ike had name recognition, and was a military hero.

Actually, I'm thinking the entire purpose of Fiorina throwing her hat in the ring is simply to muddy the waters.
iirc, she made rumblings about running for something in cali (maybe governor or senator) and she didn't fare too well. her track record is not very strong
If you went to a restaurant and ordered a hamburger, and it came to you either burnt to a crisp or totally raw, would you then ask for them to bring you a Porterhouse steak?
She did not have the most illustrious tenure at HP, either. Although she was rewarded nicely for her failure there.
On Carly Fiorina I agree. I was never impressed with her as head of HP, and I haven't really had any opportunity to change my mind. I can't understand why she would think running on her time there is going to get her elected any more than her last run for office.
Ben Carson on the other hand seems to be an interesting choice that deserves some looking into.
Gee, except for "name recognition," you just described the frontrunner. A one-term senator whose entire name recognition is based upon her husband's achievements with no legislative record is "the most experienced" person running to hear the narrative.
Experience only matters if you were any good in the first place, however.
I think we ought to limit this office to prior governors but what the hey.
Well THAT didn't take long.
Also, it doesn't speak well of her attention to detail that she failed to register some fairly obvious domain names.

or EQUALS a 2 term named President Barack Hussein Obama
You might want to check her out. She is eviscerating Hillary and the left on a daily basis. She's seemingly got a LOT more stones than many of the limp-wristed hacks in the GOP. Then again, that's a really low bar
How about a frowny face for every dollar Obama has wasted?
Maybe jobs lost under his stewardship? It would take a while to copy and paste 1.7 million frownies. Then again, that would be quicker than 1 for each of the 100 million Americans not working.
Just two more unelectable wannabes that will help Hillary rout the eventual Republican candidate. What a waste of time and money.
