"Public Policy Polling includes this circa-1957 question in its latest poll of the California Senate race:" Do you have a higher opinion of Barbara Boxer's hair or Carly Fiorina's hair?
Barbara Boxer's hair....................................... 19%
Carly Fiorina's hair.......................................... 14%
Not sure.......................................................... 67%
No questions on which candidate has the more dynamite body.
Late Update:
I forgot about this, but Fiorina was first to bring up the hair."http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/07/what_were_they_thinking_1.php?ref=fpblgLater Update: I was too distracted by the hair question to notice the topline:
Boxer 49, Fiorina, 40."PPP Poll: Boxer Leads Fiorina" http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/07/ppp-poll-boxer-leads-fiorina----and-has-better-hair.php<snip>
"Whoops! New Senate nominee Carly Fiorina (R-CA) was caught in an unfortunate open mic incident today, mocking her rival Sen. Barbara Boxer's hair, complaining about Fox's Sean Hannity and even talking about cheeseburgers she wished she'd eaten the night before.
Fiorina, who won a 3-way primary last night, was preparing for an interview with CNN affiliate KXTV this morning and chatting with her aides. In a several-minute chat with the camera rolling that CNN posted online, Fiorina mocks Boxer's hairdo. Laughing, Fiorina tells her staff that someone had seen Boxer on television and "said what everyone says, 'God what is that hair?' So yesterday!" But she also questioned a decision by fellow Republican Meg Whitman to appear on Hannity so soon after winning the GOP nomination for governor."http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/06/fiorina-open-mic-gaffe-on-boxers-hairstyle-so-yesterday.phpSuch a busybody..too busy mocking to save her job at HP?

"What accounts for Carly's fall from the heights of corporate America? A number of explanations have been offered, including Fiorina's lack of operational skills, market conditions, recalcitrant employees, and gender bias. Although all of these may be contributing factors, in this article, I argue that her failure can also be explained from an ethical vantage point. Fiorina has never been charged with a crime, as were many of her CEO contemporaries like John Rigas, Hank Greenberg, Dennis Kowslowski, and Martha Stewart. Yet, the story of Carly Fiorina is a cautionary tale, revealing ethical shortcomings not only on Fiorina's part but also on the part of HP board members." <more>
