CA-Sen: HP Donates to Boxer, Not Fiorina

To those who know her best, Carly Fiorina just isn’t U.S. Senate material.

The political action committee for Hewlett Packard donated the $10,000 maximum to Barbara Boxer’s re-election campaign. The chaser: HP’s PAC didn’t donate a single dime to Fiorina. It is a stunning (second) rejection of Fiorina’s leadership.

Similarly, Chuck DeVore received $2,400 from the granddaughter of the founder of Hewlett Packard.

Fiorina attempts to play up her role as HP’s chief executive on the campaign trail as an achievement, it is increasingly becoming a hindrance politically. HP didn’t want her anymore in 2005 and are sending a message that things haven’t changed.

You get the sense that for those connected to HP and remember Fiorina’s disastrous tenure are singing the ABCs: “Anybody But Carly.”
