* Fiorina claims in Rising to the Challenge that John McCain asked her to help Palin 'get up to speed on the economic issues facing the country'
* 'I never did get the chance to fulfill Senator McCain's request ... although I made numerous requests to meet with her during the campaign'
* To this day Fiorina, a contender for the 2016 GOP nomination, says she still hasn't met the Tea Party superstar
* Palin endorsed Fiorina in 2010 when she was competing in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in California, but it was via Facebook
* A spokeswoman for Fiorina's presidential campaign told Daily Mail Online in an email after this article was published that the candidate 'was simply making the point that during the 2008 election she didn't meet Gov. Palin'
The 2008 presidential campaign may have turned out differently for the Republican Party if Sarah Palin and John McCain hadn't blown off her advice, Carly Fiorina suggests in her new book, released this morning.
Former Hewlett Packard executive Fiorina reveals in her memoir, Rising to the Challenge, that then-Republican presidential nominee McCain asked her to help Palin 'get up to speed on the economic issues facing the country' but Palin wasn't interested in her counsel.
Fiorina, a contender for the 2016 GOP nomination, says she still hasn't met the Tea Party superstar even though Palin endorsed her in 2010 when she was competing in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in California.
A surrogate for McCain in 2008 and a member of his inner circle, Fiorina claims in her memoir that two days before the Arizona senator made public his surprising pick for vice president, he called her on the phone and asked her to advise Palin....

How is that a fact? Palin has given no indication that she is running.
The RINO’s fear Palin and whether she runs or not they’ll continue their war against her.
Carly is a slut
All I needed to read was you referring to “Palin People”
If Carley was at all upset about this she would have corrected this already. She would be sick about this, but as we can see from her silence she is freakin NOT.
You are being to kind to Carley me thinks. I suspect she will pretend to have been misquoted or taken out of context when she is interviewed by Conservative media.
If this was something that was not from Carley, she would be screaming from the rooftops, I have heard all I need to hear, Carley is guilty.
What a pile of shitake mushrooms. I wouldn’t vote for Fiorina if she was the last man standing.
But whether or not anyone is trying to stir something up, I don’t care.
McCain got a huge boost with Palin. Then he threw the election. We watched him do it.
You’re right, on both counts.
I still remember the photo of the thug Obama with the old, short & pathetic McCain backed into a corner, and believe that’s when he was told he better throw it. Similar to the photo of Obama bullying Joe Leiberman the same year.
I raised a houseful of (now)middle-aged sons. I can read photos. It was soon after that McCringe told us not to fear an Obama presidency. If he was only disgusting before that, he was abhorrent after.
Not much doubt that McCain stopped any serious campaigning after September 15. Palin did not get the memo, though.
