With a POD of 2000, have Fiorina be as acclaimed as Whitman as HP CEO while having Whitman start off strong as Fiorina did, then falter and get removed. Bonus if Fiorina is still CEO in the present day, Double Bonus if she makes it to DC as SecComm, SecTreas or CEA Chairman.

Scenario 2: Have Fiorina survive in 2005 and HP begins upticking again. Use the 1979-82 comparison vis-a-vis Thatcher/Reagan- it will get slightly worse before it comes roaring back with a vengeance maybe. From what I've seen, it wasn't so much crashing and burning as overpromising and failing to deliver on over-ambitious goals within the set timeframe. Actually, that reminds me of the President right now vis-a-vis his '08 campaign promises. :p
