Why is there no buzz about her? No buzz for Prez and not considered on list of VP choices on PredictIt for example (not that that necessarily means anything) but I'm surprised...former Congresswoman, conservative governor since 2011...

Presumably for the same reason Gina Raimondo isn't being talked about for the Democrats.

This. Being a woman is not an automatic reason to run someone for president.

Because this happened in her re-election race last year (NON ATLAS COLORS):



Democrats aren't supposed to win counties in OKLAHOMA during huge republican waves.

What reason is that?

The GOP has no shortage of capable women to staple on to a ticket in a misguided attempt to win over Hillary voters. Nikki Haley, Marsha Blackburn, Kelly Ayotte, Deb Fischer, Kay Granger, Carly Fiorina.

Fallin also has some serious baggage: http://newsok.com/ex-bodyguard-denies-having-affair-with-fallin/article/2635883

She was probably right of her republican opponent in her governor race in Rhode Island.

Around here we call her Mattress Mary because she cheated on her husband. Her record is generally a failed one, and her re-election margin would buoyed heavily by the 2014 election year and 70%+ wins from Lankford and Inhofe (she only won 55-41). Her attempts at Education reform resulted in her preferred Superintendent losing in the Republican primary with barely 20% of the vote. Mary Fallin is complete electoral poison in a non-Oklahoma level state.

You truly don't know what you're talking about.

Gina Raimondo isn't being talked about because she just won and she's pretty fiscally conservative for a Democrat. Mary Fallin fits pretty well into conservative orthodoxy.

Do you just cite names?
