Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman: could GOP do worse?

• qq66 16y ago
  It's telling that the author used the stock price to trash Fiorina and then used a qualitative argument about the customer experience to trash Whitman. Both were in fact tremendously valuable to their companies. Fiorina's attitude and approach were completely unsuitable for HP, but she did execute the Compaq transaction which ended up being one of those rare value-creating mega-acquisitions (some may say that was luck, but she did it). Whitman was even more successful, growing EBay's profits more than 100 times. If you showed a stock price chart for her tenure vs. the index it would be staggering.

    Not sure what it would "tell" if t'were true. In fact, I gave a qualitative and a quantitative argument about each candidate. Assuming you care about the issue, feel free to check back at the story and read it again.

  Yes they can and yes they have: Sarah Palin.
