Carly Fiorina

Paul in Cannon Beach

I was discouraged to hear that Carly Fiorina is one of Mccain's top advisers. Fiorina was a failure (in my opinion) as CEO of HP. She appeared to be totally clueless of HP's established culture and her style and decisions caused much turmoil. She was finally booted out after five years of decreasing revenue.

Now apparently Fiorina will be a major player in Mccain's campaign. Mark my words, people, she will be doom the man.

There is already a small controversy brewing from statements Fiorina made about health care which put Mccain in an uncomfortable position.

Why is it a person like Fiorina can almost run a huge company into the ground, leave with millions, and then resurface years later to advise a presidential campaign?

Mccain would do better to get his advice from this forum.

Democrats are saying McCain is just another Bush. Many of his current advisors are Karl Rove proteges. Not good.

Yep and Obama is moving to the middle to lock in conservative dems and moderates.

I can see where Fiorina would fit in, though. Didn't she get HP in trouble for wiretapping her execs and board members?

*Very* Nixonesque. Herr Ashcroft would be proud!

Good connection, Frank.

I forgot about the wiretapping scandal. This woman is a train wreck. She got a $20 million severance package from HP when she left.

Why does she keep getting these high profile positions? Maybe I am going about my career all wrong.

That's it, Paul. You try to operate morally and ethically. At least most of the time.

So, are you saying Paul should be a Democrat based on his morals and ethics?
