 WASHINGTON (AP) - Carly Fiorina's claim to fame — her five-and-a-half years as chief executive at Hewlett-Packard Co. — could also be her greatest vulnerability in next year's U.S. Senate race in California.
Hours before Fiorina made her candidacy official on Wednesday, her campaign aides sent reporters an 11-page report touting her record at HP. At the same time, Sen. Barbara Boxer's team was portraying Fiorina as an insensitive CEO who oversaw the firing of thousands of workers and a then-controversial merger with Compaq Computer Corp.
"California needs a senator who's going to fight to create jobs, not write off 28,000 workers and ship jobs overseas," Boxer campaign spokesman Rose Kapolcznyski said.
