Ted Cruz Names Carly Fiorina as Running Mate
--------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, on the Republican side, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has named
former presidential rival Carly Fiorina as his vice-presidential running
mate.

Sen. Ted Cruz: "After a great deal of time and thought, after a great
deal of consideration and prayer, I have come to the conclusion that if
I am nominated to be president of the United States, that I will run on
a ticket with my vice-presidential nominee Carly Fiorina."

It's the first time in four decades that a presidential hopeful has
named a running mate before winning the party nomination. The last
candidate to do so was Ronald Reagan during his 1976 campaign.
