Kim Reem was surprised earlier this fall when her phone rang and Carly Fiorina was on the line. The former Hewlett-Packard chief executive was set to speak in a Des Moines suburb and she told Reem that she wanted to chat about Iowa, the state that will hold the first presidential nomination balloting in early 2016.

"She didn't have an agenda and it was very unscripted," said Reem, the president of the Iowa Federation of Republican Women. "She is definitely trying to build relationships." Those relationships would be essential if Fiorina, 60, runs for president, something she has said she's considering.
