Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Near Launching Presidential Bid

Posted by samzenpus on from the in-the-hunt dept.

Rambo Tribble writes Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina announced on Fox News Sunday that she stood a 'higher than 90 percent' chance of running as a presidential candidate in 2016. Fiorina's tenure at HP was marked by controversy over her leadership, and it is unclear what level of name recognition she enjoys. Her only previous political experience appears to be a failed U.S. Senate seat effort in 2010, as the Republican candidate challenging sitting Democrat Barbara Boxer, in California. Fiorina lost by 10%.

    She can't hear reality over the roar of the hundred million dollars she was paid for halving the shareholder value of HP. Clearly she isn't deluded; she just lives in an alternate reality from the rest of us.

    1. libertarians are not anarchists and do not believe in 'no government.'
    2. expecting the government to operate within budget like everyone else is not anarchy.
    2. fiorina is likely not libertarian.

    Well, fortunately we have strong voter id laws on the books that are intended to make it harder for Democrats to vote

    FTFY.

    Voter fraud is a rounding error. You should try finding a more compelling bogeyman.
