Carly a Heartbeat from the White House?
Carly, Now the So-Called "Victory Chairman" of the Republican National Committee, Has Become McCain's Siamese Twin

Digg This!
An on-the-beach IT executive who’s been watching a lot
of political coverage lately called to ask what cabinet post Carly Fiorina was
likely to get if John McCain is elected because Carly, now the so-called
“victory chairman” of the Republican National Committee, has become McCain’s
Siamese twin – in every shot, he said.
Rumors have tipped her for Commerce or even State but the
Republicans are apparently even considering her for McCain’s running mate,
according to a piece in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday quoting National
Committee Deputy Chairman Frank Donatelli as saying, “We could do a lot worse…”
Although McCain might have to pick a woman or a minority
running mate given the Democratic field, the paper points out that she has no
obvious ability to unite the Republic Party, doesn’t bring a state with her and
is carrying nasty HP baggage around with her, like spying on reporters.
