Ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina attack ad

The U.S. Senate seat battle in California has so far been sedate.  Tom Campbell, Haas Business School's former dean and former Stanfurd Law professor, is pitted against Carly Fiorina, former head of Hewlett-Packard.  The winner gets to duke it out with Senator Barbara Boxer this November.  I have always respected Campbell and may even vote for him this time around.  I must say that I'm a bit surprised at the ferocity of this attack ad.  I always thought he was a gentleman.  But then again, everything in this ad is true.

Poor old California. She sounds like a ratbag.

John, the ex-CEO of Ebay, Meg Whitman, is running for Governor of California. She has already spent $80 million on the campaign ($68 million of which is from her own personal fortune). And the election isn't until November!

Isn't that ridiculous. Think how many starving Biafrans that would feed.

Maxichamp said...

John L: It would be enough to feed all of them. The funny thing is she is still probably going to lose.

It's amazing how much money they spend on elections over there.It's hard for me to fathom. No wonder the country's going broke. And we haven't even started on the J P Morgan crooks yet.

Meg Whitman's top campaign promise is to curb wasteful spending!

Under Meg, corrupt politicians will now be labeled with a "buy it now" price.
