More than 50 percent of the American electorate is made up of women. With Hillary Clinton as the front-runner for Democrats heading into the 2016 presidential campaign, would the GOP benefit from a high-profile conservative woman throwing her hat into the ring?

According to a story in today’s Washington Post, former Hewlett Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina may be considering just that.

It’s likely to be a crowded field, but Fiorina could certainly stand out, and not just because she’s a woman.

As I found out when I interviewed her about her super PAC earlier this year, Fiorina doesn’t mince words. She called the war on women strategy often employed by Democrats “shameless, baseless propaganda” and expressed strong conservative positions on both economic and social issues.
