Here's the thing. Carly didn't exactly "ran HP into the ground." She made some moves that weren't popular with the HP heirs and shareholders and got crucified for it. But what she did was put the company on a stronger foundation for the long-term by making painful choices.

Prior to becoming chair of HP, she was executive VP of AT & T. So this woman has a reasonably solid business background although some of her decisions were controversial. But remember: She did this in the private sector. I'd rather support someone who "failed" in the private sector than someone who displayed incompetence as a public elected official.

I’m not attacking Fiorina’s performance at HP. That’s not the point.
I’m telling all you guys who think she’s going to coast to victory how Boxer is going to portray her.
And I believe that it will work.
I’ll still vote for Fiorina if she gets the nomination.
However, most Californians WILL NOT.
Especially in the current climate.
