Carly Fiorina messed up Compaq? Dumb (implied)?

Not IMO. She was CEO of Hewlett-Packard and they acquired Compaq on her watch. She subsequently lost a political battle with her board of directors and some very powerful stockholders.

There are a hell of a lot of highly competent executives in this country who have lost battles with their board.

I think Carly was screwed over by her board and I hope she wins the Senate battle, if she chooses to enter it. I think she'd make an excellent, conservative, free-market Senator.
