Wall St. CEO (and Hillary Clinton supporter) backs Carly Fiorina

[Brian4Liberty]

How ugly can it get in the California Senate race?

First Lyndsey Graham announces a fundraiser for Carly, now a Democrat Wall St. Brokerage CEO (John Mack), who supported Hillary Clinton's bid for President in 2008, is hosting a fundraiser for (so-called) Republican Carly Fiorina.

How much more evidence could there be that Carly Fiorina is California's version of New York's Dede Scozzafava? Fiorina is another Republican in name only (RINO), who is also a Wall St. puppet. Maybe she will show her true colors and switch to the Democrat Party like Scozzafava did?

Would Fiorina support more Wall St bailouts? You betcha!

(FYI, Chuck DeVore is the Republican running against Fiorini in the Primary.)

Morgan Stanley’s Mack to Host Republican Fiorina’s Fundraiser

By Christine Harper and Tom Cahill

Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- John Mack, chairman and chief executive officer of Morgan Stanley, will host a fundraiser for Republican Carly Fiorina’s campaign to represent California in the U.S. Senate.

The event will take place Nov. 19 in Manhattan, with tickets costing either $1,000 or $2,400, according to an invitation obtained by Bloomberg. Mack, not Morgan Stanley, is hosting the event, said Mark Lake, a spokesman for the New York- based firm.

“Carly first met John about 10 years ago when she was in New York meeting with customers of Hewlett-Packard,” said Julie Soderlund, a spokeswoman for Fiorina’s campaign. “He was a very valued customer and now he’s a valued friend, and we’re very appreciative of him holding a fundraising event for her.”

Fiorina, the 55-year-old former chairwoman and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co., announced this month that she is running to fill the California seat now held by Democrat Barbara Boxer, 68. During her six-year stint at Hewlett-Packard, which ended in 2005, the company acquired Compaq Computer Corp. for $17.6 billion, its biggest acquisition.

The board ousted her after the shares dropped 50 percent over five years. Fiorina has said she had a “fundamental disagreement” with board members over management changes they were seeking.

Mack, 64, supported Republican President George W. Bush before switching parties to back Democratic presidential hopeful and New York Senator Hillary Clinton in 2007. Clinton, who is now Secretary of State, lost the Democratic nomination last year to President Barack Obama.

An old article, but interesting. Seems that Carly has been meeting with Democrats and the global financial elite in the past. Probably forging allies and donors...

"Amy Siskind, a former Wall Street executive who helped organize the meeting, declined to identify most the attendees, citing their desire for privacy."

McCain Surrogate Fiorina Meets With Clinton Supporters
July 16, 2008

The McCain campaign dispatched its top female surrogate Tuesday to meet with about 25 disaffected supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton in Westchester, N.Y.

Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co. and a top adviser to Republican Sen. John McCain, met with the former Clinton backers at a private home for more than an hour and a half. Fiorina said in an interview that over glasses of iced tea and finger food, she fielded questions from Democratic women she described as “intensely uncomfortable with the notion of a President Obama.’’

Both McCain and his Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama have both been courting the 17 million or so people who voted for the New York senator during the primary season.

The Westchester meeting came at the behest of former Clinton supporters, some of whom have said – adamantly – that they won’t support Obama. Polls show Obama winning the majority of support from women voters while about a quarter of ex-Clinton supporters are leaning toward McCain. The meeting wasn’t stocked with typical voters, however. These were prominent activists and fund-raisers, including several known as “Hillraisers,’’ who raised more than $100,000 for Clinton during the primary season. “I didn’t ask how many of them were Hillraisers but certainly a number of them were,’’ Fiorina said.

Nor, Fiorina said, did she ask the women whether Clinton knew they had arranged the meeting with her. Clinton has endorsed Obama and urged her supporters to help defeat McCain.

Amy Siskind, a former Wall Street executive who helped organize the meeting, declined to identify most the attendees, citing their desire for privacy. She said that some of the recently formed pro-Hillary organizations that have been critical of Sen. Obama–such as Together4Us.com, which officially hosted the event, and JustSayNoDeal.com had representatives there. Together4Us.com lists its founders as Jill Iscol, Lady Lynn de Rothschild, Gretchen Glasscock, “and 50 more to be added very soon.”

Fiorina and participants said the town-hall style meeting covered a variety of issues, from health care to foreign policy to workplace rights. While many of the subjects could be described as of particular interest to women, many were not. One topic that got little attention: abortion rights. “John McCain has a very strong record of being pro-life, as do I,’’ Fiorina said. “They knew that. This was not a one-issue crowd.’’

Siskind said Fiorina agreed to provide details regarding McCain’s stances on mandating health insurance coverage for birth control pills, federal mandates for paid maternity leave and a reinvigoration of federal legislation aimed at giving women equal pay for comparable work.

Siskind said the group told Fiorina that if McCain would give some concrete assurances of support on such issues, the people in the room and the organizations they represented could help deliver “hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of votes” to the presumptive Republican nominee.

Fiorina, who recently held a similar meeting in Ohio, predicted there would be more. Of Clinton, the lifelong Republican said this: “I have said on many occasions that I have great empathy for her.’’

Yeap... just another selection in the rigged game of the Duopoly. All these wealthy LOSERS coming out of Socialist Hell of the California Bay Area.

Meg Whitman: her hiding of EBay's billions offshore to avoid taxes, then taking reduced special interest loans for Uncle Sugar at the same time.

Carly Fiorina: The Sales Exec that dangling bananas out of her Pant Suits(confirmed) and hired private investigators to Felony spy and acquire Hewlett Packard employees, Private/Personal: mobile, home, calling records and emails.

This is the sleazeballs representing the GOP side in the race to California's governor?

I loved Carly Fiorina when she was CEO of HP, because I had shares in Dell.

She was a freakin' train wreck as CEO of Hewlett Packard.

Now she wants to bring that success to the people of CA (as if that state didn't have enough problems already).

Damn, I wish Carly would go back to HP- the guy who replaced her actually seems to be competent.

Actually, as a US Senator, she wants to bring her Marie Antoinette-style to the entire US...
