The Koch brothers and other big money types are looking at Carly Fiorina as their next hope.

Fiorina’s show-stealing performance in a Republican presidential debate last month, and her subsequent surge in the polls, has prompted industrialists Charles and David Koch to take a “serious look” at the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive, according to three sources close to the brothers.

She has now moved to the short list of candidates the Kochs may support with their reported $1 billion war chest, the sources said. Florida Senator Marco Rubio is among those on the coveted list, the sources said.

A spokesman for the Kochs declined to comment

Other politically powerful mega donors are also lining up.

Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens hosted a packed luncheon at a posh Dallas venue for Fiorina in late September, while venture capitalist Tom Perkins is planning a fundraising gala in California in the next few months.

“My money is on her,” said Perkins, who served on HP’s board during Fiorina’s tenure. “I think she could be president.”

    I wish brains were a prerequisite for becoming rich.

      I’d settle for a conscience..

      • Suzanne McFly October 5th, 2015 at 06:25

        That could work to.

    Keep pissing away your fortune, you morons. The only time this thing will be in the white house is on tour.

    • Larry Schmitt October 4th, 2015 at 20:31

      They’re not pissing away their fortune, just the dividends. A billion won’t make a dent in their total.

    Of course the Koch boys would love her…empty dress suit and heels…Walker in Drag? Either way it seems the Koch boys are getting desperate, and as one would say, the pickin’s, they be mighty slim…

    Fiorina is “surging” on lies about Planned Parenthood and her failing record of CEO of HP and Lucent Technologies, Inc..
    I hate to agree with Trump on anything, but Fiorina is not competent to be this nations leader..

    • granpa.usthai October 4th, 2015 at 23:25

      They did back one loser already this year, why not a second.

  6. Chris October 4th, 2015 at 19:57

    Dear Kochs,

    Oh please, oh please, oh please, pick Carly.

    Shovel all of your ill-gotten gains towards Fiorina and you will ensure HRC wins!

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    The Kock’s couldn’t pick a winner in a one horse race…
    Wanker was their best shot…

    • Dwendt44 October 5th, 2015 at 00:45

      Carly lies just like a first rate conservative, better looking (well–sort of) than the rest of those on the crazy train, and is ruthless like a good conservative.

      • Mike October 5th, 2015 at 17:13

        She is pretty shameless…

  8. bpollen October 4th, 2015 at 20:57

    It’s a better option for America when they choose to not use their funds productively.

  9. amersham46 October 4th, 2015 at 21:44

    GOP big money is get desperate

    “The Empire Strikes Back”, trying to buy a sith lord!

  11. granpa.usthai October 4th, 2015 at 23:30

    personally, I think they’d do about as good by backing Romney.

  12. jybarz October 5th, 2015 at 00:20

    “Kochs looking at Carly”
    Through Trump-et’s eyes?
    Hopefully through double zero shotgun about to fire.

  13. fahvel October 5th, 2015 at 03:13

    that alone should convince thinking people to reject the woman – probably the only Koch she’s had in a long time too – the pickens must be real low level.

  14. rg9rts October 5th, 2015 at 05:07

    Well the Koch’s are consistent in backing losers…♫ Ding dong♪ the witch is dead♫ ♪ ♪

    I sure wish the boyz would toss just a little bit of that money my way and would be assured it wouldn’t be wasted.

    my last pay check was $7559 working 8 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 16k for months now and she works about 18 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do…
