Carly and Ben

Tuesday afternoon update: Mike Huckabee is officially a candidate. I'm moving him to the Declared list.

Original Post:
Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina are now declared candidates, although both are long-shots for the nomination. Neither has ever held elective office before; Fiorina ran for a California senate seat in 2010 but lost to incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer. I had some fun on Twitter, imagining an all-girl race with Fiorina and Clinton:

Carl v Hill? Could we have an all-girl presidential race? Unlikely, but fun to think about.
