That’s the amount of campaign debt Fiorina still owes to consultants and campaign aides from her unsuccessful Senate run four years ago, according to the Post. Unsurprisingly, the paper reports, many former Fiorina aides are “bitter” over the lingering debts, which will almost certainly prompt potential ’16 associates to think twice before signing on to Fiorina’s latest wild goose chase.
At the very least, though, a Fiorina campaign and the attendant scrutiny would provide a useful reminder that for all the chatter that a business background is an asset in politics, it’s no predictor of either success or sound political management."
