Seriously if he picks Carly Fiorina he would have taken a huge chunk of that 18 million voter chunk for Clinton.
The woman is smart and ONCE HEADED HP
how did that work out?
She got run out after investors panicked! kinda like the dumb gamblers on this forum that panick and scream "buy back" at the half when their team is struggling to cover the spread in the first half. She had a huge merger that made HP into the largest pc company in the whole world and the success it is could be attributed to her. Many people credit her for this sucess, others argue otherwise.
(NOte. In fairness, i would be arguing that she fumbled the whole merger if Mccain had indeed chosen her. I would be siding with her detractors. :lol
But say what you may about the whole merger, she had way more lee way than Palin ever had with her bridge to no where (we even had photos of her wearing the t-shirt) or bankrupting a town of 9000 and leaving them with a 20 million dollar tab!
The upside to her was so much more than Palin. If the worst people (including me) could come up with was the wishy washy argument that she "almost" killed HP trust me, Mccain would have had an easy time fudging that nonsense. (NOt to mention all her buddies on CNBC, FBN, Bloomberg TV and women that would have come to her defense)
She sure as hell would have out debated that blow hard Biden (yes now we can admit that Biden is a mandible disaster waiting to happen) on the economy with no freakin debate prep like Palin needed.
And she sure as hell wouldnt look stupid answering Couric on what newspapers she has read.
i went and borrowed her impressive resume that is worth gold compared to Palin's hilly billy crap!
Early career
Fiorina worked various secretarial positions, including at HP as a temporary worker working for Kelly Services (then Kelly Girls).

The woman started out as a secretary and rose so high to be named one of the most powerful people in business in 2005!
Mccain could have campaigned on her humble beginnings alone to skate by the economic crisis and win milions of hilary voters.
Incase some of you forgot. I hate mcccain and the republican party! If even i "and extreme left wing asshole" can see the no brainer in picking fiorina it should clue you in on why Mccain got the whole campaign wrong and why the country flatly rejected the moronic bible thumping, war mongering, fear mongering, race baiting politics of old.
Its a new day. Time to wake up and smell the coffee.
But please you dont have to oblige me. Keep sleeping and rest your hopes in guns and religion! Promote Sarah Palin and demagogues like her to bigger positions in your party. Lets see how that crap works out for you in the next eight years.
