I listened to Carly on the Sunday morning political shows today. She has some good points to make. But I don't think she will be nominated. IMO, she has a big issue with image that hurts her. Think, Cruella de Vil.
When she's not busy running companies into the ground she's spending her time getting duped by random videos on the internet.
Her biggest success was driving Lucent into the ground but having the good sense to get out before the SEC got involved in their accounting scams.
Saving a company is not "running it into the ground". I support Carly. I want someone who can look past politics and make the hard choices. I hope she comes in and totally slashes the Federal government back to its roots. I can see her implementing programs to get rid of all the employees and jobs that can be eliminated by computers. The only ones remaining will be on the front lines to answer questions for citizens.

What exactly did she save?
Her record at Lucent was an unmitigated disaster that involved a rather impressive amount of accounting fraud. She appeared to be doing a good job and the company's stock price soared. Trouble was, it was all based on fraud and lies. Eventually the Carly-made bubble burst, the SEC got involved, and eventually the company got bought out by someone else. Her only success there was leaving before it became apparent what a slimy failure of an executive she actually was.
Then she went to HP and tried her best to kill it too. They never recovered from her disastrous reign.

You're right, it should be the bigger story. The HP story is easier to understand and easier to put into a 30 second news piece though. HP shows her to be merely incompetent. Lucent shows her to be both incompetent and a scam artist.

HP is still in business. Many tech companies are not. By cutting it's fat, it was able to purchase EDS later to enhance its consulting business. Thousands lost their jobs after that takeover. That is the nature of the game. Saving jobs is and should not part of the equation.

You are aware that HP is breaking into two companies right about now, yes?

I would give her the benefit of the doubt about whether she destroyed HP or not except for one little thing...if she didn't why has she not been offered a job as a CEO since then?

Yes, I call it her strident/forceful personality. The one thing Hillary beats her on is Hillary is able to fake "nice."
