The most surprising takeaway from last week's Republican presidential debate -- next to the difficulty of puncturing Donald Trump's helium-powered candidacy -- was the mass anointing of Carly Fiorina as the Candidate to Watch.

Praise for the former Hewlett-Packard CEO's performance at the introductory undercard debate spanned the full range of news outlets. The conservative National Review remarked on her "poise and her well-crafted answers," and CNN paid homage to her "sharp knowledge of the issues."

Fiorina told the latter that she went into the debate aware that "only 40% of Republicans even know who I am."
