For Democratic opposition researchers, Fiorina sounds like a dream come true.

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina may or may not be on Arizona Sen. John McCain's short list for vice president, but she already is taking a crucial role in the Republican presidential hopeful's campaign.
In March, Fiorina was picked by the Republican National Committee to chair a group directed to raise money and get out the vote for this year's elections. Shortly after that move was announced, Fiorina was interviewed by Business Week about her role.
"My role is to be the primary advocate for John McCain and for the Republican Party," she said.
"Certainly there are a lot of people who are engaged in fund-raising who are more expert at it than I am. My role primarily is to advocate and communicate with the American people about the candidate and the party. And certainly I have a business background and understand economics, and so I will be engaged in that part as well," she continued.
She has been doing plenty of media for McCain, including representing his campaign on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos.
It's reasonable to believe that Fiorina, 53, is on an extended trial as McCain's running mate.

Everything that happened at Hewlett-Packard during Fiorina's term of employment at the company, whether involving sales, employees or strategic business decisions, would become fair game. And it's not only her years at HP that would invite scrutiny. Her years at AT&T and Lucent Technologies would also come under scrutiny, as would the companies on whose boards she serves.

Seppuku.
I wish he had picked Carly. Then SP would be a pristine candidate for 2012 or 2016.
(McCain’s people, the GOPe, deliberately destroyed SP in 2008.)
Once again, they throw at us someone we DON’T WANT.
I think Carly is a disaster just waiting to happen. I think her stern and reckless statements lately, is her way to act like Trump .. all the while bad-mouthing him.
If women cannot act like a lady .. instead of feeling that they have to compete with men .. then they don’t realize they actually have an advantage which Carly is not utilizing.
Carly is Waaaaaaay too liberal for me. I am quite sure Ted Cruz would not select her for a VP .. because he would have to constantly be watching his back. A VP should be a support person .. a helper and not a backstabber.
I don’t know what it is .. but I just don’t trust her.
If Cruz is not V or VP, he would make a great Atty General.
The weasels are really pushing old stone face...I’ll pass.
Where’s Songbird McCain been lately anyway? He seemed to disappear after the truth about his military career went viral.
At any rate - look at that (can I say it?)...PICTURE!
Gosh, why isn’t this article saying that the McCain camp fired her? They did.
It wouldn’t have stopped the onslaught against her. The media instinctively gang-rapes all viable Republican nominees.
They gang-rape the Conservatives first (so they won’t get the nomination, of course). When the RINO gets the nomination, then the media completes the job on them. If El Jebbe were to get it (thank the Good Lord he won’t), you know it would be 24/7 about tying him to his brother, the Middle East “quagmire”, crashed economy, and his wife and children’s escapades, and then painting him as a racist right winger (no matter how leftist and pandering he is).
We know the media M.O.
I just personally don’t like her. Sorry.

If McCain had chosen Fiorina then he would have done even worse at the polls then he did.
Agreed.
