An hour after concluding a fractious effort to pass a stop-gap budget and avoid a government shutdown, congressional Republicans found a rare moment of comity Wednesday during an appearance by presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina on Capitol Hill.
Fiorina, a surging candidate who's gone from the kiddie table at the party's first debate to credible contender, met with Republicans and their chiefs of staff for a couple of hours at the Capitol Hill Club, a party bastion a block from the Capitol building.
