Who really knows what Carly is for? She says that she’s conservative now but the only record we have is her business record of driving two successful companies right into the ground. That’s a record I could do without for my next Senator.

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.
