It is a very local, personal interview-style pitch of what the prospects plan to bring to the table. There are no absenteeism votes, only these gatherings of the candidates, speaking to the people at the local places in town. Mrs. Cara Carleton Fiorina is one of our Republican prospects for the presidency in 2016. She hails from Austin, Texas and is married to Frank Fiorina.
