She was hired to take the GOP and spin off conservatives into oblivion. ;)
I believe you are 100% correct!! LOL! Good observation.
(snip)National-security issues, which McCain sees as one of his strongest points, may end up being his Achilles' heel. Already there is concern among his conservative friends that McCain may lack the disposition to command, showing an uncertain sense of purpose and outright bad political judgment.
"What's the first thing you would do as president?" the Detroit News recently asked McCain.
"The first thing I would do," the candidate answered, "is call in John Kerry, Bob Kerrey, Joe Biden, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Dick Lugar, Chuck Hagel and several others and say we've got to get foreign-policy, national-security issues back on track."
That statement ricocheted through cyberspace, with Washington national-security experts wondering, "Is McCain nuts?" The formula doesn't compute:
As was McCain.

Carly Fiorina did such a great job running HP that the board forced her out. Sounds like a perfect fit for the incompetent GOP.
don’t forget what she did to my old company Lucent. she flushed that flagship right down the toilet.
>> former Hewlett-Packard boss Carly Fiorina
I thought this was a joke, at first.
It’s a questionable choice IMO, but not out of character for Sen. McCain.
Maybe he just went down the list until he found someone who didn’t say “no”... I figure she was #187 or so.
Carly Fiorina
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Hewlett-Packard Co. Chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina, one of the most powerful women in corporate America, is leaving the troubled computer maker after being forced out by the company's board. Shares of HP (Research) jumped 6.9 percent in heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday on the news. But at one point, the stock was up as much as 10.5 percent.
"The stock is up a bit on the fact that nobody liked Carly's leadership all that much," said Robert Cihra, an analyst with Fulcrum Global Partners. "The Street had lost all faith in her and the market's hope is that anyone will be better." Fiorina, the only female CEO at a company in the Dow Jones industrial average, had been with HP since 1999. But the company's controversial deal to buy Compaq in the spring of 2002 -- after a bruising proxy fight led by one of the Hewlett family heirs -- has not produced the shareholder returns or profits she had promised.
"While I regret the board and I have differences about how to execute HP's strategy, I respect their decision," Fiorina said in a statement released by the company. On a conference call with reporters, executives said Fiorina was not terminated for cause and that she would receive severance pay -- and a company spokesman said she'll get a payout of approximately $21 million, including stock options----SNIP---

I hear ya!
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..?
Oh, Jolly good! More "postpartisanship" cr@ppola. More black robes in charge, or something more original? (I'll find the thread.)
Fiorina has been working as an economic adviser to McCain for more than a year now, travelling with him and stumping on the campaign trail.
McCainiacs are so stupid to shrug off conservatives. They’ll see the light f-a-s-t.
10-12 million conservatives can be called up in a nanosecond.
The longer McCain waits the MORE it will cost him to get conservatives onboard.
Our negotiating list is lenghthening as we type.
SHE MUST BE A CLINTON SPY!!! DOUBLE AGENT ALERT!!!
Is this from 2000 or 2008??
We have Carly....the Democrats have Hillary.....seems equally bad.
McCain’s cadre of advisors could not be more blatantly opposed to the interests of the 95% of citizens and legal residents in this country.
McCain and his inner circle aren’t just telling conservatives to “Go F**k yourselves”, he’s telling every single productive citizen who isn’t a millionaire and the vast majority of people who are millionaires to go drop dead.
He doesn’t just hate conservatives anymore, he hates anyone who doesn’t play the celebrity game.
McCain and the RNC are now the laughingstock of Wall Street. McCain could now tap the Long Term Capital Management team to head up the Treasury Department. Maybe he could tap the ex-CEO of SCO Darl McBride for a strategy for WTO and trade agreement negotiations.
It’s over people.
Will be a cold day in hell before anyone on Wall Street or the tech sector ever give another nickel to the RNC if Carly is actively torpedoing that skeleton of an organization.
This is nothing more than open sabotage of the American political system.

Both monsters.
