High-level ex-staffer: 'I’d rather go to Iraq than work for' Carly Fiorina again

[n2doc]

Politics has a well-known revolving door, with candidates often rehiring consultants, strategists, and vendors as they move from one campaign to the next. But for Republican presidential contender Carly Fiorina, that might not be so easy.

Twelve of about 30 people who worked on Fiorina’s failed 2010 California Senate campaign, most speaking out for the first time, told Reuters they would not work for her again. Fiorina, once one of America's most powerful businesswomen, is now campaigning for the Republican nomination in 2016.

The reason: For more than four years, Fiorina — who has an estimated net worth of up to $120 million — didn’t pay them, a review of Federal Election Commission records shows.

Federal campaign filings show that, until a few months before Fiorina announced her presidential bid on May 4, she still owed staffers, consultants, strategists, legal experts, and vendors nearly half a million dollars.

1. She's evil. nt

[kwassa]

2. And delusional. Why does her failed stint at HP qualify her for anything?

She has no constituency whatsoever.

[okaawhatever]

3. It isn't her failed stint at HP that qualifies her, it's the $130 million she earned. When you can

self-finance a campaign not too many people need to agree with you.

4. Reminds me how Mitt cut off his staff's credit cards & such the DAY AFTER the election.

Left some stranded around the country to fend for themselves.

5. Well it was their fault he lost

Such a fine, principled man as Mittens should have easily won so the loss was obviously the fault of his staff. They DESERVED to be stranded and have to get home on their own dime.

[Hoppy]

6. His staff were Republicans. They should'a stood on their own two feets.

They should not have expected any help getting home from Mittens.

God gave them two fuckin' thumbs.
