WOW - what a load of garbage! McCain saw an immediate boost in his poll numbers after picking Sarah and if it wasn’t for her, he’d have lost in a landslide!
I;m sorry Carly, but McCain lost because he was McCain.
Indeed, Palin helped pull up the R vote.
McCain was never going to win. Nothing minus Obama killing children on video would have gotten that old bastard elected. Should have had even Gingrich.
i’m 100% certain mccain lost the white house because he didn’t even have the bawls to call out his opponents obvious connections to islam
Sarah was THE ONLY REASON he was even in the ball park
Gingrich for all his problematical aspects still did some good work in congress and certainly presented his positions and viewpoints far better than mcCain usually does.
yes, Gingrich would have been a far better nominee than McCain.
McCain was, I believe, put on the ballot to Throw the election.
Tell me Im wrong...?
I hope you’ve learned a valuable lesson today, Carleton. Once you enter an American political campaign coming from anywhere on the right, the people in the media are for the most part not your friends.
She didn’t already know that after running for a US Senate seat in California?
Apparently not.
It is embarrassing. I call these threads IQ tests. It is amazing that people do not bother to actual read the articles before they make comments. I cringe reading some of the knee jerk reactions.
Download exactly 30,000 sad faces here: http://www.carlyfiorina.org/
1980 she graduated with an MBA from Maryland (okay, good start)...
1984 divorces husband #1, and quickly marries Mr Frank Fiorina, an AT&T exec. <-- Note how her career starts after this marital upgrade
1990, she graduates from MIT with an MS in management
1996, she leads the spinoff of Lucent from AT&T, including planning and implementing the IPO.
Later in 1996, Fiorina was appointed president of Lucent's consumer products business
In 1997, she was appointed chair of Lucent's consumer communications joint venture with Philips consumer communications.
Later in 1997, she was named group president for the global service provider business at Lucent, overseeing marketing and sales for the company's largest customer segment.
In 1998, Fortune magazine named Fiorina the "most powerful woman in business" in its inaugural listing.
1999 heads HP, 2001 forces a merger with Compaq (being fought all the way by Mr Hewlitt, sone of the HP founder), and in 2005 is forced to resign. 2008 she goes on to be named the worst tech CEO of all time (politics of hating right-wing women?)
She survived breast cancer... She took on Barbara Boxer very publicly and would never back down ("I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn't that scary anymore.")... She is a great outspoken Conservative... but she is not Presidential material. Nor did she truly burst through any glass ceilings since she married her way towards the top at AT&T
Time for Carly to head for home.
To say that Fiorina is a contender is a gross overstatement.
I can tell you why John McCain lost in two words, too: John McCain.
BBB - Back Biting B***h.
To give the illusion of choice. Pretty obvious.
Sometimes it’s hard to see where one party ends and the other begins. Wasn’t McCain implicated in the IRS targeting of Conservative groups?
>>McCain didnt lose the race. McCain threw the race!<<
Exactly, agree 100% When your sole aim is to get the nomination, the nomination that you say was stolen in 2000, you’re going to lose. When you run a half-hearted campaign, you’re going to lose. And, when you agree with your opponent 90-95% of the time (as McCain did), you’re definitely going to lose.

Meanwhile we have the idiots on this website telling us to support the “moderate” RINOs.
“McCain was, I believe, put on the ballot to Throw the election.
Tell me Im wrong...?”
Yes, but by whom? It was the old media that got McCain on the Republican ballot, because they figured he would be easy to beat. McCain, on the campaign, even referred to the media as “my base”. Once he won the primary, they turned on him. We are living in a mediacracy.
Allowing the old media to “moderate” the Republican primary debates, and thus chose the Republican candidates is insane.
This article (mostly the headline) is just media spin to dump on both Fiorina and Palin.
