Yea, I sort of liked Carly also, would have liked to see her go further, but it seemed the cards were stacked against her. 4951

Carly was a good candidate & I liked her policy positions. Unfortunately, I am not sure she was electable. Hopefully there is a place for her in a republican administration. She is a very sharp lady with a no nonsense attitude. 4951

Eh....I have friends who worked at HP when she was CEO and they say everyone there hated her. She basically ran the company into the ground. So much so that she was forced to resign. And on the day investors found out, the stock price went up by 6% in a single day. LOL.  4951

Carly was hired at HP because it was struggling. Revenues were down, quarterly earnings were missed, innovation lagged and growth stagnated. HP, once the leader in Silicon Valley, was clinging to the status quo and failing to embrace the new tech era.The results of Carly’s transformational leadership? HP revenues doubled to more than $80 billion, innovation tripled to 15 patents per day, the growth rate more than quadrupled 6.5 percent and we grew to become the 11th largest company in the country. Carly did what she was brought in to do: turn the company around make it successful again. Not only did she save the company from the dire straits it was in, she laid the foundation for HP’s future growth.Critics often claim was fired at HP because she was unsuccessful. As a member of the board, I can tell you this is not true. In truth, it was the Board I was a part of that was ineffective and dysfunctional. The HP board of directors included family members of the founders. Carly worked with the hand she was dealt as best as one could. While Carly fought to save the company and the employees within, some board members fought for their own power or advancement. You see, some board members wanted to micro-manage the company, hand picking friends and allies to run divisions. This is no way to run a global company and Carly had the strength of character and courage of conviction to stand up to it and ultimately she lost her job because of it.LINK 4951

She was a refreshing change from Hillary as a woman candidate. 4951

Agreed. Carely has solid conservative values and was a good no nonsense candidate (just had too much stacked against her). I would have loved to have seen (for the entertainment value of exposing Hillary's lies and shallow "vote for me I am a liberal woman" strategy) a debate between her and Hillary. I always thought she was running to position herself as VP. I would like to see her in the cabinet or as a minimum, as the President's "high tech czar". Carely has class and is a winner, she will land on her feet.With respect to her time at HP, she did what was required to keep HP as a going concern. Carely was not hired by HP to be the popular. Carely showed that she can make tough decisions, just like she would have had to of made as President.  4951
