She is a good attack dog against Hilary. Can say things men cant say.

I'll support her campaign for that reason alone.

As long as we need her, and I read somewhere that this is understood in exchange for a job in next administration. But it’s just hearsay

That could be a GOOD thing; maybe she would lay off about one third of the federal government in her first 100 days!

HP was not chickenshit when she took control, but she sure made sure it was by the time she was gone... You can read case study after case study about how abysmal her tenure was, and there are 10s of thousands of technical folks who can tell you first hand just how badly she drove that company into the ground.

She increase the market cap of the company in the aftermath of the dotcom bubble. Now the person who took over in 2005 did a better job increasing the market cap and at a better rate. But the company took a turn for the worse in 2011 taking a diving back to a market cap that is no better than Carly's in 2005.

I'm no fan of Carly. But in hind sight her decisions did not put the company in that bad of a position or the market cap would not have doubled in 2 years after she left and remained above her levels for 5 years.

The real question is who has been running the company for the past 5? They have halved the market cap over 5 years.
