DescriptionCarly Fiorina's first political campaign didn't end well for her. But the former Hewlett-Packard chief may not be giving up on politics just yet.

Just weeks after her lopsided loss to Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Fiorina's name is in the mix as a possible head of the Republican National Committee, whose embattled, gaffe-prone chairman, Michael Steele, is under pressure to pass on a second term.

With at least 10 names in the mix, it's anyone's guess what Fiorina's chances might be, assuming she even wants the job. But Washington Post politics columnist Chris Cillizza wrote last week that Fiorina is "anti-abortion and has California connections to raise money -- two traits that could make her an intriguing choice." She would also bring business acumen to the RNC, which critics argue has been a financial mess under Steele.

Fiorina wouldn't have to buy a house in D.C., either. She and her husband Frank already own a condo at the Ritz-Carlton in Georgetown.
