Carly Fiorina The Best New Senator Ever © http://www.shanagrant.com
Carleton S. "Carly" Fiorina (born Cara Carleton Sneed; September 6, 1954) is an American politician and businesswoman. She is the 2010 Republican nominee for a United States Senate seat representing California. Fiorina served as chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005 and previously was an executive vice president at AT&T, where she coordinated the spinoff and initial public offering of Lucent.
Fiorina was considered one of the most powerful women in business during her tenure at Lucent and Hewlett-Packard. The spinoff of Agilent Technologies -- which had been initiated by her predecessor, Lew Platt -- was completed shortly after she joined the company in 1999. Under her leadership, in 2002, the company completed a contentious merger with rival computer company Compaq. In 2005, the Hewlett-Packard board forced Fiorina to resign.
In 2008, Fiorina served as a top economic advisor to Republican presidential candidate John McCain. She currently serves on the boards of several major business organizations. In November 2009, Fiorina announced she would seek the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer for her United States Senate seat representing California. On June 8, 2010, Fiorina won the primary election, and will face incumbent Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer in the general election in November 2010.
The top layoff leader in terms of layoff numbers is Carly S. Fiorina at Hewlett-Packard. She fired 25,700 workers in 2001, and saw her pay jump 231 percent, from $1.2 million in 2001 to $4.1 million in 2002.

You may not hear anything...but you are looking at the face of a highly incompetent woman who was the CEO of a giant corporation and because of her actions the company was on the brink of bankruptcy.
She alone put that company in the red but she was finally fired for incompetent and now she wants to be YOUR SENATOR CALIFORNIANS....
