I dont get it..Why not Carly Fiorina?

[PurebedroomBully]

The woman is an accomplished business woman. (albeit fired from HP after some chaos, but she could have spun this and said she built that company to the biggest PC company in the world and was ousted for among other things sexism etc ect...That would be some what of lie but common, you are republicans. Lying comes easy and there are many stupid Hilary supporters who would have bought that hook line and sinker)

But she has a great resume, a great business head that would have quelled the questions of Mccains obvious stupidity on the economy,
she is extremely well spoken and well informed politically..


Why in the hell would Mccain commit suicide by picking some unknown, city hall corrupt baby machine in the midst of a corruption investigation?


Seriously...

I dont get it... Why not Carly Fiorina?

My goodness, the more i read her story that more this doesnt make sense.

She actually started out as a secretary and a receptionist. She freaking taught english in ITaly

What better life story could be there?

goodness gracious Mccain is stupid...OBama better be thankful he over looked this gem that would have crushed him.

Why not Hillary Clinton?

Why not Hillary Clinton?

This is about John Mccain. If you dont have anything useful to contribute well then go boff yourself buddy.

Or start your own thread about Clinton!

 

[D2bets]

I can tell you why not Carly Fiorina. She wouldn't have satisfied the radical religious right. Her views on "family issues" are, at best, unknown. And she said she supported some things during the campaign that McCain did not.

 

[3peet]

U know, I was thinking the same thing. Fiorina is FAR MORE accomplished than Palin.

So he chose that mugwump over this self made accomplished woman? Ok she said something about medicare covering contraception for women that caused mccain this discomfort..

But come on.. She could easily have turned this issue into their favor and won many votes from women by having Mccain himself concede that she changed his mind on the issue. (only extremists far right wing dunces would get mad at him and the numbers alone he would have won from women dwarf the numbers of these extreme right wing religious mafia)

What would be more appealing than picking some one with her own mind.

While i get what you are saying, i think Mccain is a petty idiot who intended to pick her but he was pissed off about that incident. He is too petty and childish and missed on out on a golden opportunity

And i have to say this, regarding that incident, she probably discussed this with him but the old fool forgot. This woman is too smart to go out and put words in Mccains mouth on such an issue.

About some of her views being unknown, what could be better to counter Obama's similarly grey record?

This isnt rocket science folks...Mccain is and incredible fool!!
