Carly Fiorina, the CEO of Hewlett-Packard, will be joining the presidential race as of May 4. She is the only Republican woman who has declared her candidacy. Having already spoken at an Iowa forum, she discussed her points of criticism towards Hillary Clinton. May 4 will be a busy day as Ben Carson is also supposed to announce his candidacy for the 2016 election as well. (Link to article)
I think it's great that more women are running for president, but I honestly have no stance on this topic. I have no idea what her platform or stance on issues are, therefore I cannot create a proper opinion on this topic.

Life is Death
Katherine Seelye discusses a poll taken in Boston regarding the Boston Bombing of April 2013 (link to article). After a public poll was taken in Boston this past month regarding the situation of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, otherwise known as the Boston Bomber who, with his brother, injured many and killed 4, the public stated they would rather have Tsarnaev serve a life sentence in prison instead of being put to death. 62% agreed on a life sentence without parole, while 27% wanted the death penalty. Though Massachusetts has abolished its capital punishment in 1984, Tsarnaev is facing death because he is being charged under federal law.
I think I would rather have Tsarnaev rot the rest of his life in prison. He doesn't deserve to go quickly after what he did to those people. I would agree with the higher percent in the poll - life sentence without parole.
