No one cares which team you support as long as you are genuine in your support.

To quote myself, if we can't trust Carly Fiorina to remain faithful to her Alma mater, how can we expect her to remain faithful to America? Sketchy move by a sketchy lady.

Pathetic. Because clearly she'll get 2.5% of the vote instead of 2.0% since she supported the Hawkeyes.

People who vote based on things like this are even stupider than people who vote based on who they'd like to have a beer with.

I'm not surprised. Her entire spike in the polls was due to a debate performance based around a heavily edited video.

Turns out it  was all a joke and you're all bunch of weenies who should apologize to Carly

It's a nice touch that Clemson fans are begging her to not root for them.

she actually said "can't a girl have some fun?"  Because one thing people think of when they think of Carly Fiorina is how whimsical a coquettish she is.

And that's the problem, isn't it?

Lesson number 1: Never be transparent with your pandering. Your pandering needs to be translucent, like a milk jug!

I disagree. Your pandering must be opaque; that way the people won't see a thing.
