Republican National Committee officials confirmed today that former Hewlett-Packard boss Carly Fiorina is moving in to take over as chair of Victory 2008, the group that raises money and handles the get-out-the-vote operation, including the 72-hour campaign leading up to Election Day.
She will be joined by longtime GOP activist Lewis Eisenberg, John McCain's national finance cochair, who will serve as finance chairman, and Frank Donatelli, a former Reagan political director, as RNC deputy chairman. There also remains talk that McCain strategist Charles Black will join the RNC as well. The addition of McCain supporters to the RNC is typical at this time in a presidential campaign, when the likely nominee plugs his supporters into top jobs in a bid to coordinate the campaign with the party's political and fundraising arm.
"This is part of the merger," an official said, that will "complete integration of the campaign and committee so we are as effective and efficient as possible."
Though the cute black chick spokesgal the RNC had for awhile at least had some value.
Any of these names ring a bell?
Are they going to speak Spanish?
Carly could not adequately run HP....now the RNC?.....Goog grief!
Carly Fiorina did such a great job running HP that the board forced her out. Sounds like a perfect fit for the incompetent GOP.
Get ready for more moderates than ya can shake a stick at floated as names for a McCain administration...
Carly is NOT all she HyPes herself up to be.. ask HP.
The Schwarzneggerization of the National GOP. Just grand. :-(
Looks like McCain is picking all the winners. /s
Fiorina is the woman who took AT&T and spun off Lucent into oblivion. Then she tood Hewlett Packard and spun off their Test & Measurement group into an almost unknown company called Agilent. Now she will take the GOP and turn it into another of her acronym companies that are losers.
If the GOP was a stock looks like a good time to go short given Fiornia’s track record of destroying companies.
pretty bizarre how this is all unfolding but perhaps not that surprising when one looks at who is pulling the strings behind the curtain.. and not what we as a nation need to retain our sovereignty and even hope to keep a competitive place at the global smorgasboard buffet.. 3rd wayvian to the core... that is what it’s all about these days.. the media won’t tell ya that, but as I read it, we’re screwed any way we go hence forth.. and Im trying to be optimistic. ;-)
side note, ya see the latest redistricting offensive being backed by the GUb, Westly and the Ca GOP, and the New Majority is kicking in major coin as well supporting it..?
Yes, Westly. :-\

Carly Fiorana, who nearly sunk Hewlett Packard
Charlie Black, a symbol of Washington insider flacks
Juan Hernandez, the representative of the presidente del Mexico
William Kristol, who thinks illegal immigration opponents are yahoos and morons,
Brent Scofcroft, who says Bush was wrong going to Iraq,
Rick Davis, campaign manager, who tells the conservative base to go to hell, you’re not needed.
Mark McKinnon, former Democrat who “won’t fight Obama”
etc., etc.
Not only is McCain stiffing the faithful, he has recruited a bunch of inside-the-Beltway hacks totally out of touch with the world and more at home with liberal Democrat party-goers.
Time to stock up some food in a cave for the next four years, and hope that the situation is recoverable in 2012.
Carly Fiorina, who hosed HP when I worked there and outsourced internal support to India, earning the company nickname “Hewlett-Patel.”
Somebody needs to absolutely bichslap that dumb sumbich!!!
I simply despise both of them and have udder contempt for the Schwarzneggerization of ANYTHING at ANY LEVEL!!!
Can’t think of better evidence of McCain’s self-professed ignorance of economics and business. Perhaps he just knew her from all the fawning press she received from the MSM while CEO of HP.
Charlie Black has been around a long long time.
See http://www.kumquatcomputer.com/fidora.htm for the ultimate satire on her
