Since Fiorina just announced, she is only getting the scrutiny all newly announced candidates get. You haven't noticed Bernie Sanders is getting it too. The same scrutiny will happen with everyone else who announces. It's all over in a week every time.
lol, the media is groveling at Hillary's feet practically begging. Please, please Hillary, answer just this one question.... pretty pleeaase. Got to love her mixing with the hand picked people too, a scripted show for the naive.

If she'd been the female version of Elon Musk, we'd be having a very different conversation.
We would be having a different conversation if we were talking about the current Hewlett-Packard's current CEO, Meg Whitman. Meg has largely turned around Fiorina's debacle.

So has Yahoo's current CEO, Marissa Meyer, who has made Yahoo profitable for the first time in over a decade.

There are lots of very capable women in business who are better than Fiorina ever was, and some of them would make much better Republican candidates as well.

Fiorina is nothing but an egomaniac who got in over her head and refuses to admit it. She rose and fell in the business world at a time when it was hard for any CEO to fall as fast or as hard as she did. Her leadership was a spectacular disaster.

You mean the Liberal media, why is it you ignore what the Conservative media says and does, after all that is your source, correct? Scripted you mean the same thing that Cons candidates do all the time, do you have a double standard for the other guys or don't you know that your guys do the same, meaning being naïve?

Honestly, this kind of media behavior surprises you?

Carly has no chance. Her tenures at AT&T and HP were considered failures, and I say that as someone who likes what she is saying. I'd rather she stayed in California and ran for Senate again now that that harridan Boxer is retiring.

They rejected her there also, does not look like she will be doing much of anything on the political front anywhere, sooner or later she might actually get that fact.

I know Carly Fiona since her days as top executive at Lucent and HP.
(Unrelated to her political affiliation) there aren't many women that deserve the B word more than her. She is a classic specimen. But I disagree with the assessment about her success in business. The results were mixed, no worse than other CEO. It's her personality I am referring to.
But why thr talk about her now?
