Reply #14: Fiorina: GWB 2.0? [View All]

I have been saying one thing about political candidates who tout their experience in the business world as qualification for public office: when a politician says he (or she in this case) is going to run the government like a business, find out how he runs businesses. We know Shrub's track record: he ran three oil companies into the ground and traded Sammy Sosa. Fiorina is as bad: she turned Hewlett-Packard from a manufacturer of high-margin test and measurement equipment people bought because of who made it, to a manufacturer of commodity personal computer equipment. Before Fiorina, HP sold most of its equipment through a direct sales force. Now? Their biggest vendor is Walmart.
