Carly Fiorina Will Launch Her Presidential Campaign This Week 

Carly Fiorina announced on Twitter yesterday that she would make another announcement on Periscope on Monday. Welcome to campaigns in the digital era. The former head of Hewlett-Packard is expected to announce that she is officially entering the Republican primary.

Fiorina has already been on the campaign trail, she’s made stops in New Hampshire and Iowa, and a handful of public appearances, where she’s largely criticized Hillary Clinton’s track record. She’s been actively positioning herself as the GOP’s alternative to Clinton; a tough, tech executive who shattered glass ceilings: “I know that it is still true that it is only in the United States of America that a young woman can start as a secretary and become CEO of the largest technology company in the world,” she recently posted on Facebook.

Questions about her record as HP’s CEO have always haunted Fiorina. The Guardian reports:

But those who watched what Fiorina did to HP – mishandling the $25bn acquisition of Compaq, getting ousted by the board in 2005 with a $21m golden parachute, repeatedly being named one of the worst CEOs in American corporate history – say those supposed accomplishments are already coming back to “haunt” her run for the White House.

Regardless of Fiornia’s record at HP, as a California senate candidate, she gave us one of the greatest political ads ever made. Let’s all remember the artistry of “Demon Sheep.”
