McCain's advisers and shills are having a really off week. Memo to McCain campaign going forward: 1) Don't let your candidate say the fundamentals of the economy are strong during the worst market day since 2001 2) Don't credit your candidate with helping to invent a "miracle" technology that he doesn't even understand how to use 3) Don't admit that your VP candidate is not qualified to run a multi-billion printer and computer company, but is qualified to run a multi-trillion dollar government and a military engaged in two wars. That doesn't make much sense to most folks out there.
Yeah, Carly should talk. She definitely knows what not do when running a company. What is even funnier about this is McCain is right now on the trail lashing out at golden parachutes on Wall Street and Fiorina got a $21 million severance package after running HP into the ground with the botched Compaq merger. Time to pitch another one overboard Johnny. She'll be sitting on the sidelines with Phil "Nation of Whiners" Gramm pretty soon. McCain sure has lousy judgment in those who he keeps in his inner circle. Not a good sign.
I actually thought that McCain was going to pick Carly Fiorina for his veep. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121272&highlight=fiorina
Or is it that they fear strong women? I can understand the discomfort of the olbermann gay wing of the democrat party. The republicans have so much excess testosterone, it must be intimidating. Our girl can kick your guy's butt.
In all seriousness McCain, Palin, Obama and Biden each do not have the experience to run a corporation like HP. Running a private sector company cannot be compared to being head of government. It was a silly analogy asked to Carly.
what they did was, cut the tape off after McCain. Then she listed the anointed one, and the plagarist. She simply said it's different running a Country and a Corporation. right on both fronts. I don't think Jack Welch was much of a diplomat behind closed doors. This campaign is getting stupid. McCain got nasty, actually Davis and Schwartz got nasty, because he couldn't get media coverage. When he got coverage, he got the lead. If he doesn't stay controversal, he won't get the coverage. Therefore, it's the medias' fault.
Another McCain adviser bites the dust: "This campaign source said Fiorina would be discouraged from additional media interviews. Another top campaign adviser was far less diplomatic. "Carly will now disappear," this source said. "Senator McCain was furious." Carly, meet the front wheels of the bus. It was fun while it lasted. LOL. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/16/fiorinas-comment-called-biden-like/
