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%.

    Sarah Palin actually held a political office. I'm not sure if Fiorina was even on a student council.

    Yes, but I'm pretty sure Carly can read and write.
