CNN

And to think I used to like Mittens?

When you tell a lie, you have to remember the lie so as not to contradict it. When you campaign tell lies, you have to remember all the lies.

Good luck GOP, you have a next to impossible task to remember all the lies told you the McCain-Palin campaign.

I don't know how they can trust someone who doesn't know what is talking about unless people are going to race.

Anyone who votes republican (unless you're making over $250,000 a year), is a fool. The GOP has shown time and time again that "less government" really means less worries from corporations who rape anyone who is not wealthy. The GOP has advocated "trickle down economics" since the beginning of the 20th century, and it ALWAYS kills the market whenever the GOP is in control and preventing market regulation. Who benefits? The rich cats in the GOP and their corporate allies. Who loses? Everyone else, including those poor deluded evangelical conservatives who believe that because the GOP whispers all the right buzzwords about abortion and school prayer, that the GOP is looking out for their best interests. Look at the billions of dollars taxpayers are having to dish out to corporate bankers so that the CEOs can attend GOP functions in style. A vote for McCain is a vote for your own personal poverty. Think about it.

I'll take capitalism over socialism any time I get the chance. The problem with liberals is they love to whine about what is wrong but offer no practical solutions. What kind of change is Obama offering? I have not heard anything specific. Biden is another washed up Washington lifer. Come on people – get over yourself and vote McCain/Palin!!!

CNN needs to play the WHOLE clip and apologize to the country. Fiorina said none of the candidates could be a CEO. Also if you read the ENTIRE
sex education bill it did say K through 8th grade should be taught sex education. McCain did not lie.
Obama is the one running a sleazy, dishonest campaign and the media is losing what little credibility it had and Obama is in trouble. The American public is not stupid.

Do I have foresight or what? I had blogged 7 days ago that we haven't heard much from Romney on TV. Prior to the Palin pick, Romney was one of the most ardent TV supporters of McCain and against Obama. Carly Fiorina seemed to fill in that role the Romney lost after Aug. 29th. Now that Fiorina has made a major gaffe for the McCain campaign, she has been thrown under the bus and replaced with Romney.

p.s. WRONG TONY! Carly Fiorina had first said that Palin and McCain were not capable of running a corporation when asked about it in St. Louis. Later that day when the mainstream news media got a hold of the Fiorina gaffe, Carly Fiorina then added in the Obama/Biden ticket to try balance her comments. Too Late! Damage done.

He's such a kiss up

CNN-So, so very much in the tank for Obama. Fiorina said NONE of the four candidates could run a corporation. She said that because she, herself was having trouble running HP. So now, Mitt Romney says only the two republicans can. (mearning gee, neither Obama nor Biden are able according to both speakers capable of running a corporation.) When will CNN quit clipping interviews to promote THEIR candidate.? How about some FAIR reporting. CNN what a joke! What does CNN stand for Cocky Neanderthal Nutcases or worse. How about some actual truth once in a GREAT while. Report the facts–I don't want your opionated slants as part of my news. I will pick my candidate. It is not your job to feed me propaganda. Or is your opinion brokered to the highest bidder?

There is waaaaaaaaaaay too much hate and viciousness from too many Dems on this blog! And I'm sure the Reps can have their vicious moments at the right spot. WHY DON'T WE STOP the UGLINESS??? The personal attacks are extremely spiteful and hateful.....how will that be following Obama's message??

And yet the latest Rasmussen poll results show that 49% trust McCain more than Obama on economic issues while 45% trust Obama...

Hey, if anyone knows how to fail at running a company, it's Fiorina. I definitely believe her on this one.

McPalin 08!!

Good for Mitt. This woman got fired from H/P so she hasn't any room to talk about who can and can't run a corporation.

Nice SMACKDOWN of Carly, Mitt!!! Between the two of you... it's hard to know which one of you to believe because you're both such talented liars and blowhards!!

And besides... Mitt is plenty wealthy!!! So even if he let McCain or Palin run his business and it SERIOUSLY TANKS... he can afford to take the hit.

Unfortunately for the rest of us... we don't have that financial cushion of millions of dollars!! We can't afford to have McCain/Palin run our nation FURTHER into the ground than what the irresponsible policies of Bush Administration has already done. As my good blogger friend Nightingale always says: McCain/Palin are too risky!!! TOO RISKY!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!! VOTE SMART... NOT SENILE!!!!

<>

lol. have you been living in a cave? NBC CNN, ABC have all been in the tank for Obama. CNN hires hard left yellow journalists like Wolf Blitzer, Anderlib Cooper...etc

watch FOX!!

Medai bias again, only telling the half truths and you on the left believe it all, in her next breath she said neither is Biden or Obama.. At least Sarah has run a business, has Obama? NO. What has he really done, community organizer with a slum lord.. oh wait, most of those projects are abandoned. Get your facts straight and educate yourslef on what is real and what are lies.

Because that 90 % of African American vote, up until February was 61% behind HILLARY CLINTON. It wasn't until the Jesse Jackson quote in South Carolina that blacks shifted. OBAMA was powered to victory in Iowa and would have been New Hampshire if not for the tears, by WHITE AMERICANS.

Now, blacks voted for John Kerry over Bush 43 by a 91 to 9 percent margin.

There was NO uproar then. But because blacks are voting for Obama at the SAME percentages, now, they are voting because he's black.

Seems there is a problem with someone's logic. Blacks tend to vote Democratic, 85-90 percent of the time, regardless of who's running.

Spin this Obama supporters -

Carly Fiorina said that neither McCain, Palin, OBAMA, or BIDEN were qualified to run a major corporation.

Hillary Clinton said that OBAMA in not qualified to run the country.

Joe Biden said that OBAMA in not qualified to run the country.

Guess what ... All 3 agree that OBAMA is not qualified.!!!

Romney was one of McCain’s fiercest foes during the Republican primaries and often criticized McCain for his lack of economic knowledge.......................................................................................

Just one more of those trustworthy Republican I guess.
Gee why wouldn't you believe anything they say?

GOP is a fraud, but it is a pity that Americans are blind. One thing i know for sure is that if Mclow and the young witch win this election, America should never claim to be the most respected country in the world. Never Again. In fact they will lose every little respect that is left.
The only single problem that i know obama has is that he is BLACK, PERIOD. If he were white, this election would have been concluded long time ago. Mccain has provided the racists an opportunity to hate Obama even more by his choice of an inexperience VP. Anyway, i still believe that OBAMA will win.

Of course he would hire them... that what Republicans do... hire other incompetent former GOP politicians and use their government influence to help the company do things like avoid paying taxes.

In the last year Mitt Romney has changed his position on just about everything he has talked about, campaign in past on and worked for all his life.

If you believe what he is saying now, then there is a bridge in Alaska you should buy and make it a toll road. Romney is like most of those in Whitehouse. he has lied so much lately that he even believest them himself or does not understand the difference.

The guy who is credited for making the case against McCain that he did not know ANYTHING about the economy now says he would hire him, better yet that he could lead a corporation? That goes on to say, that Republicans would do anything to win these elections, even if they have to lie about each others, even if that means...putting COUNTRY LAST.

As with all thing Romney, this appears to be really really sincere and unscripted.

"Carly Fiorina said that neither McCain, Palin, OBAMA, or BIDEN were qualified to run a major corporation. "

That's a reason to vote for Barr, not a reason to vote for McCain.

The Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square September 17th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Why is it when a poll suggests that 90% of the African Americans are voting for the black candidate — that is not racism.
------

Because African Americans always vote at around 90% for Democrats. They voted in those same numbers for Kerry, Gore, and Clinton.

They know that the Democratic Party has their interests at heart, and that the GOP hates them.

I'm willing to concede that racism is not the only reason some people are voting for McCain, but conversely you have to be willing to admit that it is the reason for other people and that it IS an issue.

Carly proved that she has no idea how to run a company. However, McCain proved Carly right on this particular point when he hired her as an economic adviser.

Damage control....sort of

hun....are the republican just spinning the truth?

If lies goes around for hudred years... the truth we catch up with it.

Obama 08

Funny that Dumbacrats would point out that Fiorina was fired from HP. Obama's lead in finding his vice president was fired from Fannie Mae, and last time I checked HP didn't need government funds to avoid bankruptcy. And they found a great vice president; one who hires lobbyists and makes Obama's attacks on McCain for using lobbyists in his campaign all the more comical. Is there anything about Obama that isn't utterly hypocritical?

How much would he invest?? That's the real question!

Is this the same Mitt Romney who, earlier this year, said this of John McCain:

"...he does not understand the economy, has no experience in the private economy and right now, that’s the biggest issue people are facing."

Someone in Sen Obama camp should find the clip of Romney criticizing McCain for his lack of economic knowledge. Now flip flop criticism ended with the demise of his presidential bid, and change his mind. Now! Romney has argued that McCain has more knowledge and experience to handle the economy. Go Obama/Biden

Why won't Mitt Romney leave and go away. His speech at the RNC
was pathetic. He is a loser.

Fiorina also said that Obama was not competent to run a company. Is that a lie??????? This si a done subject CNN – why do you keep it going????

In one breath McCain can not a big office, now he can. These people are STUPID.

How does Romney-Fiorina ticket sound like?

Strong comments or judgment from Fiorina, hardly a successful CEO/Top Executive, in running large Corporation – being the top economic spokesperson does follow the earlier fiasco by yet another expert, Phil Gramm, the economic advisers for the misguided.

Go back to Basics, folks: Ask, What are their intentions and aims, really? Forget the party affiliation nonsense, just be Americans. We have a task TO HIRE the most capable and effective persons to put the country back together, and not get tangled in silly rhetoric. What are the vision, capability to bring people together, elevate mutual respect and instill confidence? This is all about future, even with the tempting conditions that can raise anger and disgust over the abuses by last 8 years and more.

Isnt this the same guy that said we have to get rid of "liberal washington" even though the GOP has been in charge of congress for 12 of the last 14 years??? What a JOKE he is!!!

Hope John and Sarah lose and available for Romney's company.

Mitt Romney is a retard!!! He is such a liar to indicate that McCain/Palin can run a business. He should know better than to say something ridiculous when he criticized McCain not knowing about the economy. He is just a hypocrite and will say anything. He is such a flip-flop and only says what people like to hear. He is just a power hungry REPUBLICAN!!

Now the matinee idol Mr. Big Love speaks. Carly for once in the campaign told the truth and now she is being punished. For one I agreed with you Carly neither McCain/Palin is fit to run a company. If they can't handle a million dollar company, surely a nation trillions in debt will be above their pay grade also. Time to stop rewarding C student swith the hardest jobs America.

"I guess the dow plunging 700 points in 2 days is a good thing for the fundamentally strong economy."

LOL!!! That's pretty funny! Guess what? Another game of OVERUNDER, this time for the markets! OVER/UNDER 200 points tomorrow...I'm gonna go UNDER. I'll say it'll be about 150-175 or so tomorrow. But the OVER is getting warm!! LOL!!

Uh-oh, there must have been an emergency call last night with new talking points for Mitt and his ilk.

Read the original AP article. They mislead with their headline, but while she said that McCain and Palin are not qualified to run a corporation, but neither are the democrats. Clearly they want you to think that somehow she implied that the democrats were more qualified to run a corp., but that's just not the truth

Just look at what McCain and the republicans are doing to our economy. How much more has to happen before we get these clown out of office!

soooo... it seem that Mitt is a liar too.

Either Mitt was lying when he attacked McCain on his lack of economic knowledge & experience or he is lying now when he praises McCain.

Flip-flop .... just like the GOP in 2000 – whispering about how mentally stable McCain was after being a POW for all those years .... now was the GOP lying then or is the GOP lying now??

Inquiring minds want to know!

She said none of the candidates could run a corporation including Hussain Obama and Joe Biden. The Obama campaign clipped her comment cutting Obama and Biden out. Typical.

“I’d be happy to hire John McCain and Sarah Palin to run a business that I’m an investor in.”

I'd bet in reality you wouldn't!

How can McCain run a corporation? He's always worked for the government which is kind of scary if you tell me? A Public Service lifer is supposed to understand about layoffs and private sector cost cutting? I don't know...

Romney is a team player. One of the best around.

I guess Romney is now looking for a job in McCain's cabinet. A leopard can't change its spots!

I wish people would read the facts for themselves and not listen to the news media who cut out portions and distort. Fiorina said, quote, that neither McCain or Palin or Obama or Biden could run a big business. She went on to say it wasn't that important because big business and government are not the same skill set.

Too bad the Obama ad didn't play the whole statement by Fiorina – she went on to say that neither Obama or Biden would be able to be a CEO, either...of course, that doesn't matter since it doesn't slam McCain/Palin.

Doesn't change anyone's mind, on either side – can we please talk about something that is actually relevant?

How about Senator Obama's attempt to convince Iraqi officials to wait to negotiate an status of forces agreement until after the election. This is not only not the role of the Legislative branch, but is technically in violation of Federal law (Logan Act).

Senator Obama's spokesperson may call this a lie, but Senator Obama has been previously quoted as having done so.

Senator Obama is entitled to his opinion, but he is not authorized to negotiate, nor influence ongoing negotiations on behalf of the United States.

Uh-bama isn't qualified to serve burgers at Mcdonalds

This is what happens when you live by the lie you lose by a lie.
If McCain creditials were legitimate there would be no need for all this spin. Once again his campaign has proven quite well.

McCAIN is not ready to lead...

No matter how much you spin this Mr.Romney mcFAILURE the truth is uncircumventable.You said this very thing on the campaign trail.This honest woman is merely re-echoeing you.

Fiorina was right. She knows incompetence from personal experience. Why is it that she is no longer the CEO of HP? Ooooohhh.

Can't stop laughing....quick, send in Mittens...Fiorina has turned cold.

Who would vote for the McCain camp when a leading surrogate has no confidence in their abilites?

Carly Fiorina said that neither McCain, Palin, OBAMA, or BIDEN were qualified to run a major corporation. The main stream media here has been just as bad as the Obama campaign, only reporting half the truth and making this into a much much bigger issue than it needs to be. And considering how sexist the media is, I'm surprised they're not pointing out that Fiorina was fired for nearly running HP into the ground

HP let Carly go. Looks like she should not be talking.

Go ahead then Mitt.
Give them control of one of your companies and lets see how it does between now and November. LOL!

I'm sure these are comforting words for both McCain and Palin, as they now have a firm job commitment on offer, for after their loss in November.

I just don't understand why Fiorina is being taken seriously at all. Does nobody remember her track record? Oh she's speaking for the McCain Campaign...... Well that makes sense

Carly couldn't run a company either. Hewlett Packard fired her.

The econonomy is in crisis, no one can deny. But economics will not be of concern, when we are under nuclear attack, and Obama as president, has canceled our missile defense systems. We will be sitting ducks, undefendable with a weakened military. We will be
proud that America elected a black man to the Presidency, but we
be wiped off the planet by Iran, so no-one will remember that Barak made history. God forbid that he should be elected in 2008.

lol, McCain's own advisers can't even decide if he's qualified to run a company, let alone the country.

As a total side note, I find it really interesting that McCain is surrounded by all of these egocentric former CEOs who think they're jobs are so incredibly difficult that the four people running for the White House are all underqualified to run a company. Sure they can be the overseer of a $13 trillion economy, but they can't handle a $10 billion corporation? These people around McCain must think they're pretty amazing for being able to perform a function that even the next president can't perform!

Ignorance is bliss, and it is running rampant on this forum. What CNN fails to include in the particular article is that Fiorina in the full interview also stated that Oboma and Biden could not run a corporation either. Why are people so blind. Think for yourselves and do a little research, and stop believing everything that you see on TV.

This is clearly reckless reporting on behalf of CNN and it is very disappointing as I have been a fan of this network for years. And why cant women vote for the McCain-Palin ticket because there is a woman on it? I have many friends of ethnicity that will be voting for Oboma due to his skin color.

CNN- If you are going to report things, be fair and biased, and not just pick out what benefits one side. Pathetic!

Mittens,
Your nose is such a pretty shade of brown. It must be killing you to have to say what you did but we all know you'll say anything in the hopes it will get you near the White House. You always have been and always will be the slick "used car salesman". Never can trust you, never will.

Get used to it Republicants, we are taking back the White House. You have messed things up for far too long!!

Obama / Biden 2008

No more kissing up to Pumas. McCain will win this without your help.

Palin 2012

Republicans see how you fight amongst yourselves with no one around to instigate the situation. But you all will give anything, your honor, integrity, trustworthiness and sell your very souls and all you stand for to win an election. Way to go – just don't take the rest of us down with you.

Anyone feel that Romney (and Huckabee) are secretly rooting for McCain to lose so that they can run in 2012?

Not that you will post this, as you have "moderated" every comment I have made over the last 2 months, but:

This story is bogus. Fiorina also in the same quote stated that Neither Sen. Obama nor Sen. Biden was qualified to run a company either. Reporting that information, however, would ruin your story.

By the Fiorina also later stated that she felt the Obama ad clipping the quote was "decitful" and Sne. Obama is the least qualified candidate of the four for President.

Well Carlie – we sure know you can't run a big corporation like HP or you would still be there.

Is'nt he same guy with greasy hair who talked bad about McCain during the primaries. Later he tried to suck up to McCain hoping to get VP nomination. Too bad. Your own party can see through you.

Thank God Romney didn't get the presidential nomination. He is more confused than McCain, well almost.

I guess the dow plunging 700 points in 2 days is a good thing for the fundamentally strong economy.

Why is it when a poll suggests that 90% of the African Americans are voting for the black candidate - that is not racism.

But if 90% of the females would vote for the woman candidate than that would be insulting, since they were voting because she was a woman.

And if 90% of the whites voted for the white candidate, they would be labelled racists.

Seems a little mixed up don't you think?

Gosh oh golly. No one saw this coming did they?

who cares what this republican thinks....

or any republican for that matter.

He contradicts McCain-Pelin!!!! I wish he would come out and say what he REALLY thinks!!!! McCain will destroy this country as we know it!!!! And Pelin will blow us up in a war with Russia to get "Jesus back"!! God help us!!!!

A looser still making so much noise!
He could have won the nomination but he was a bad as CEO of his own campaign and subsequently bad decision maker. He doesn't have to be the person to responding anyway!

Did John McCain give any specifics about how he'll fix this country today?

I was afraid I might have missed something.

Fiorina misinformed? How Sexist!!!

Please Fiorina – If you were a good CEO, you shoul know that your remarks would not be effective in the normal flow of things re the Campaign!

Come on .... are you for Real?

Go Mitt Rommey – tell her as it is.!!!!

MCCAIN/PALIN ...

Romney: “I’d be happy to hire John McCain and Sarah Palin to run a business that I’m an investor in.”

Well, speaking as someone who's been invested in America all 55 years of my life, I don't want either of these buffoons running my country.

Mccain knows nothing about the economy crisis. He panders to us and some people are hook line and sinker. With poverty and unemployment building I can not understand why this election is close. People wake up!!! wedge issues are not what is hurting this country. Take it from me the GOP has hijacked the south using wedge issues to get people to vote against their self interest. People believe the lies of the GOP and poverty continues to grow down south, education continues to get cut, and the prisons continue to fill up. Cnn I do not care if you post this you never do, but people are suffering down south, and it is time for a new deal that new deal is OBAMA!

Ok, Fiorina's explanation of what she really meant in 3...2...1...

It doesn't matter WHAT Romney or anybody else says. Folly is folly. In 2001 Bush and his free market liars told us huge tax cuts for the rich and giant corporations would create millions of new, good paying jobs here at home and make our economy strong. They told us that again with the next round of tax cuts for the rich. And they told us that exporting American jobs and allowing a flood of immigrants was good for our economy. Well, if all those things are "good" I sure don't know what is BAD! Bankruptcies and unemployment are way up; wages are all but frozen; CEO pay and prices for fuel, pharmaceuticals, groceries, and health care are skyrocketing, and we have a record trade deficit and ferderal deficit too. Yet McCain, Romney, and the rest of these free trade moron Republicans want us to vote for more of the same. Unbelievable!!! It would be like burning your hand on the stove and then pressing your face down on the burner too. If the American people vote for McCain/Palin, they will deserve their fate. For me, it's:
OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!!

google keating 5

McCain can't fix the economy. He and his advisers are responsible for the problems.

The running jokes just keep on coming.

Fliona ran HP into the ground and sent a large portion of american jobs to Asia. Then after their stock tanked, she was dismissed and left with a nice multi-million dollar package for her troubles.

Romney believes in magic underwear, was not able to manage a campaign, receiving about as many votes as Stephen Colbert, .

I'll say it again...

Just because someone DID something does not mean that they were GOOD at it. I know a president, a mayor, a fighter pilot, a FEMA head etc. that held positions that they were not good at.

George Bush went to university... he was a C student, can you tell?

I can and have cooked, and I actually like my food, but I am no chef.

Peace.

I hope Romney hires then both maybe he'll do it before the election..Wouldn't that be nice... I just heard Mccain say on GMA if Obama only went to townhall meetings this race wouldn't be so negatvie. Why dont the reporters tell him thats rediculous thing to say.Its like a older brother punching you and saying well if you only did what I ttold you. Come on get over it man... What an idiot..

Please hire McCain to run your business. I want some of your money to go down in drains.

Yep...
Let's remember all of the executives at Lehman, AIG–were educated and trained to lead corporations–they haven't done so wel..

Perhaps we shouldn't put such emphasis on the MBA-look where it's gotten us. A lot of highly credentialed, over paid–crooks and idiots.

Carly Fiorina said that neither McCain, Palin, OBAMA, or BIDEN were qualified to run a major corporation. The main stream media here has been just as bad as the Obama campaign, only reporting half the truth and making this into a much much bigger issue than it needs to be. And considering how sexist the media is, I'm surprised they're not pointing out that Fiorina was fired for nearly running HP into the ground.

Your so clever Mitt.

How about including the full quote CNN where she states none of the people in this race Obama and Biden included could run HP. How about some transparency and fair reporting CNN instead of the shallowness of your bias. Your doing no service to the American people in reporting in this matter. If you truly believe your candidate which we all have figured out is Obama is the best to run this country then why hide all the pertinent facts and why slant everything out of context?

The McCain camp is eating itself, like the snake devouring its tail.

In other news, Bill Gates announced a new Windows operating system, while Steve Ballmer told reporters that Microsoft was getting out of the computer business.

Caught in their own web of lies. Conservatives.

To rely on advisers who have bad judgement is the worst thing to do. It tells a lot about the jugdement skills of McCain who has chosen them.

you people are idiots. the same thing happens to democrats after they lose – remember everything hillary said about obama? open your eyes and look at both sides. Holding on to this double standard only shows your lack of intelligence.

In other words the GOP is saying "Oh crap, she messed up, let's send a former business owner to help patch up the already busted dam" GOP is losing ground fast. McCain and Palin are both full of lies and excuses. Typical politician. Cindy McCain....the TRUE elitest.

Rodger – "Obama has proved himself by running a complex successfull campaign. He stays on line and tells the truth…it's constant! The Republicans "don't know what the truth is" they keep changing their policies and tell out and out lies…they can't help it….that their way!!!!"

Oh PLEASE....just admit you're a life-long Democrat who would vote for Pee Wee Herman if he was the Democratic Nominee. Who cares about this article? It's the Independents like me that will decide this election, on who we feel will be best as President, not you hard-core Dems spouting the same old crap.

McCain/Palin 08

It should be noted that she said that neither Palin, McCain, Obama or Biden could run the business. In reporting, please use ALL important information. News should be objective.

ENE M DIAZ, please, so with McCains many many years of office, why did he not do anything ?? and come on, the republicans have had the office many times in hi lifetime .... All he is going to bring is Bush 3 and 4th term...

Mitt knows what he is talking about.

McCain*Palin 08

Hey Mitt, how's the smell down there behind McCain?

It amazes me when party talking heads on both sides repeat the same lines over and over. Carly has been the sexist attack dog because being a woman they think gives her more credibility on the issue. But then she spoke the truth (gasp!). Now they are running crazy trying to find out why she didn't get the cue cards.

And YES Romney IS irrelevant. What an ELITIST!!

LMAO! I love how they send Romney up to say he would hire both, LMAO! What a joke! I wouldn't hire either of them. Palin isn't even qualified to work at Burger King, LMAO!

How about Obama's running mate Joe Biden? Is this the same guy who sticks to his own words that Obama doesn't have enough experience to be a leader of the United States?

Obama, don't even try to compare yourself with Palin let along John McCain. To me you have nothing to prove but words blah blah blah.....

Does anyone find it ironic that Fiorina, the former CEO of H-P, is saying that none of the candidates can be a CEO, when H-P is now shedding thousands and thousands of jobs? Sounds like she isn't up to the task of being a CEO either!

If Mitt believes Sarah is qualified to run Hewlett Packard then I'm glad to see he's on the sidelines.
His comment cannot possibly be based on anything but political bias.
Wasilla has 5500 peple and 42 meth labs. Why would a town that small need so many drugs? Adn, why as mayor and now govenor hasn't Sarah Barracuda done anything about it?Sounds fishy to me!

Romney, Rothchild, Mrs. McSame the Millionieress, WHO'S THE ELITIST????????

Mitt,
Are you on crack? Quit toeing the party line. Where has either one of them shown that they have what it takes to run a fortune 500 company? That is a very specific skill and experience set. It requires a great deal of focus (that McCain surely hasn't shown). Palin could barely manage a small town, actually having very few legitimate responsibilities as the town manager of Wasilla does most of the work.

I think you're mistaken.

More lies and cover-up. The same Republican Party we've all come to know.

FIORINA IS PLAYING BOTH SIDES OF THE CAMPAIGNS . YOU MIGHT CALL IT PLAYING IT SAFE.. SHE NEEDS A CORPORATE JOB
AND PLAYING BOTH SIDES MEANS SHE DOES NOT WANT TO ALIENATE EITHER SIDE. SOMETIMES THEY CALL IT TALKING FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUTH.

Carly Fiorina is a clown who gotten canned from her CEO gig at HP for spying on her own people. McSame probably promised her a position at the NSA so she could do it to the whole country as Czarina of Domestic Surveillance...

Oh Mittens you're still around? I thought McCain threw you under the bus with Lieberman?

Mitt Romney would have been a better vp pick.

And as a business man myself, I know Mitt would not have hired McCain or Palin to head his investments companies- what possible return could there be? None!

Thanks repubs, but no thanks!

Why was Romney so hateful towards Barack Obama at the convention it certainly wasn't very Christian like. None of them were and they profess Christian values! I'm so glad I'm not a part of the Republican party!
E.J.Mohammed

Palin let Wasilla $27 million in debt. I wouldn't hire her to run a PTA bake sale.

Romney is just another two faced LIAR and is trying to cover for his dear friend Carly who for the first time actually told the truth.

Boy I can see now why Romney lost.

"Misinformed?"

Doesn't that describe EVERYONE on McSame's derailed "Straight Talk Express?" These morons are running around spreading misinformation and outright lies. When you're not telling the truth, it's not surprising that these contradictions are going to start showing up.

Romney, Giualiani, Fiorina, and company, are all sickening with how they've all jumped on the party line with all the BS to support McSame and Caribou Barbie.

I just hope and pray that the American public will open their eyes and recognize this joke for what it is. People do NOT want Bush 44 and those who do need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid.

how far is his nose up there? jeez, let it go Mitt, you ain't getting nothing in the future...pathetic

milt a repub.what more can you say,

Hey Mitt, go ahead, hire Palin. Then watch as she fires everyone in the company and replaces them with her friends from high school. Watch as she and her husband make the big budget decisions, leaving just about everybody in the company out of the inner circle. She'll need a tanning bed in the company, and if you could move it closer to her home, like she wanted to move Alaska's state capital, that'd be swell. She'll also need private email accounts, so that company business won't show up on the official company transcripts. Are you getting all this, Mitt?
No Way! No McCain! No Palin!

<Can we go back and replay a few videos of Mitt stating McCain's lack of economic knowledge?

NEXT!!!

Mitt, this is like Fiorina saying in a few weeks from now that McCain can run her former HP company.

Forgive Mitt, he loves to Flip Flop!

Dave September 17th, 2008 10:16 am ET

CNN – Fiorina also stated Obama and Biden were not qualified to run a corporation. How about including all the facts in your second paragraph?
-------------–

But the issue is that she's a high-level Palin/McCain campaign advisor. We would expect her to say Obama and Biden can't run HP, but to say it about her own people is news.

I apologize for trying to inject logic into the Ticker.

This is the same guy who said McCain knew absolutely nothing about the economy a few short months ago. They are still missing the point,it's the republicans' trickle down economic policies of giving the most to the wealthiest every single time.Create jobs my FOOT! not everyone making over $250 K owns a business,chances are they will buy another yacht with their big tax breaks while you make $7 an hour...SINFUL.

Obama – Biden 08

That is sooooo shocking!

18 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR OBAMA to lead the country.

NOT based on his experience but based on his VISION

Sarah won't even meet with reporters on her plane...forget about even having a vision!

CREDIT CARD COMPANIES ARE NEXT!!!

It is the logical progression of credit failures.

All because Republican leadership failed to protect taxpayers from greed.

You'll see. Before the end of this year, maybe 1st quarter of next year.

How does it effect you?…

Your credit cards will be cancelled.
OR
Your credit line will be cut.
AND
You'll be forced to pay outstanding balance on your card.

Kaatiec, you are right, Fiorina DID get fired by HP for incompetence and screw-ups. She will fit right in with McCan't and his staff of liars.

Romney – you are IRRELEVANT. Go away – you can't fix it.

Keep Carly around!

Democrats for McCain

If our economy is this strong, why is our government bailing out ALL these FAILING private companies?

How did you get this stupid?

You wouldn't be looking for a political pay-back.......would you Rommey?

Fiorina DESTROYED HP. No way would I trust her business skills. Romney, on the other hand, has been financially successful in everything he has done. Too bad so many can't see past the religion issue...

I watched Romney this morning when John Roberts played a clip of Mitt back in April saying that McCain knows nothing about the economy and goes further to say he would be a disaster running it! Mitts response was" well, I was running against him, of course"

Whatever Mitt – You clearly meant what you said.

See how I supported a man who I properly said had no economic credentials whatsoever.........yes I accept your nomination for 2012.

Is there anyone left who cares what this moron thinks?

Obviously not content with just flip-flopping for his own political gain...

...now Mitt Romney is flip-flopping for OTHER PEOPLE!!!

And the face-saving begins...

Good boy, Romney! Here's a treat. Now, roll over, sit, beg. Your master, McCain, has trained you so well.

I think they would make excellent CEO's...just like the CEOs of Enron, HP, Lehmann Bros etc.. Unscrupulous, unethical, shortsighted, greedy Liars and thieves who would run the company into the ground in a heartbeat. I wouldn't put them in charge of my company but I'd recommend them to my competitors...

Obama has proved himself by running a complex successfull campaign. He stays on line and tells the truth...it's constant! The Republicans "don't know what the truth is" they keep changing their policies and tell out and out lies...they can't help it....that their way!!!!

I think they should all meet...get their stories straight...then appear on news channels.

Well, at least they're appearing...where's PALIN?

Why do they keep posting ANYTHING by Romney? I bet some Republicans wish he would go away.

Fiorina is right..

If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're NOT qualified to become the country's second highest ranking
executive, a heartbeat away from the top job.

Okay... whose on first base? The McCain-Palin Camp are so confused they don't even know who is qualified and who is NOT anymore. John McCain's surrogates continue to "contradict" themselves over and over.

WHO CAN HONESTLY TRUST THESE CLOWNS???

I mean John McCain has these surrogates talking for HIM and they are doing a TERRIBLE JOB AND they seem to do nothing but contradict John McCain's policies!!! Unbelievable.

With FRIENDS like these, you certainly don't need any enemies!

HA! HA! HA! Can you say "open mouth....insert foot".

GEE, what a bunch of morons!!

AND this is WHO the Republicans WANT as their leader, Bozo the Clown?

I say get John McGoo out of the picture, then you can have Matt Damon's perfect "bad Disney movie" ticket: Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin.

If that doesn't scare you, I can't imagine what will.

Give me a break. McCain: "Quick, get Romney on the phone to say he'd hire me and Sarah, that'll fix it" No thank you.

I saw both interviews. I agree with Romney.

McCain/Palin. I really like the dynamics.

I saw your appearance on Morning Joe this morning. When Joe asked you (Mitt Romney) about McCain's Sex Education Ad being a LIE...Your response was pure EVIL. You, McCain and the rest of the campaign are disgusting. Besides the LIE, the perversion is absolutely disgusting. You freaks should be ashamed of yourself. You are the lowest of low!!!

I think Governor Romney is just being the good Republican because during the primaries, didn’t he grill McCain for his lack of economic/executive experience? He is just playing ball and hedging on 2012 for another run. At least Governor Romney is a true Republican as opposed to Senator McCain, who is a Republican running against the Republicans.

It's Mitt in his Magic Underwear spewing incomprehensible jibberish again. Everyone move along, don't stare at the patient, the ward will be along to collect him soon enough.

Well Mitt. What is it? Is he ready or not? Make sure you don't text message or e-mail him since he doesn't have a clue as to how those technologies work

Don't blame Carly for telling the truth....It's hard to say what the Republian line is...it zig zags more than a lightning!

Hey Mitt. . . Help America With Our Energy Crisis And Wring The Oil Out Of You Hair!

Somehow, I don't think Romney would have said that back in the spring, when he was running against McCain and pounding him about his lack of economic savvy. I wonder what deal McCain had to make with him to result in this change of tone?

what are you looking for Romney
a place in his cabinet IF he gets in
thats all America needs.....a pack of elitists running the country
vote wisely
Obama and Biden 08....

Nothing new....

TAX THE RICH

TAX THE RICH

TAX THE RICH

How stupid the Democrats think Americans are.

No one will vote for the largest tax increase in history Obama.

McCain 08

All this abstract talk about experience and ability to run a complex organization doesn't make much sense.

Look at how effective a campaign Obama has run, starting as a complete unknown underdog, taking on the Clintons' machine, and getting the nomination. Then tell me that he doesn't have the ability to inspire and to lead a complex organization to success.

This from the guy who McCain accused of NOT having enough experience because he was a governor for ONLY 4 years.

Now he defends McSlime.

Interesting to see surrogates fighting each other.

Wonder what Fiorina's response will be?

I'm surprised McCain hasn't put out an ad ("to be viewed around the battleground states") stating how she is a deeply partisan person and ardent supporter of the liberals.

Romney? Wow, you're still around.

Thought Fionira got fired from her job for incompetence??

»WELL SAID Mitt Romney.John McCain is the...man.

»Next US President=John McCain . Next Vice-President=the WONDERFUL,CAPABLE Sarah Palin.No doubts about it. Of course.

CNN – Fiorina also stated Obama and Biden were not qualified to run a corporation. How about including all the facts in your second paragraph?

If you vote for McCain because he has a woman on the ticket this year remember, it is going to bite you in the end in 2012 and that is a promise that will be kept. I was for Hillary but I am not a fool to switch to the Republican candidate. My future and the future my children's hang in the balance and I refuse to throw away my vote because things didn't go my way.

Wake up people

A rift in the G.O.P. Just goes to show how concerned they've become.

ONE NATION

Really? Romney would hire her to run a business larger that the local 7-11? She has no business degree. She dropped out of four colleges just trying to get her bachelors. Her business experience is limited to a "commercial fishing" operation that consisted of one 20' vessel that looks more like a row boat and she sold a few snowmobiles on the side. She was part time mayor of a tiny town and even had to hire a city administrator at almost the same salary as the mayor just to run that town. She has been governor of Alaska for 20 months, but spent 312 days at home plus vacations means she only was in the state capital a few weeks per year, prompting many state legislators to wear yellow "where's Sarah" buttons.

Romney would hire her to run a large company? I wouldn't want to be and investor in that company. These pundits have to feel REALLY silly serving up this crap to the electorate.

romney will say anything to help oldman mccain, the truth is well like the rest of the republicans they never tell the truth.

The genie is out of the bottle Mitt ... let it go.

Mitt Romney , Rudy Guiliani both are kissing up .... we all know they both have ZERO credibility.

John McCain is not the sharpest tack in the box .... let's just be blunt about it.

And I"m so glad a big mouth female .... Fiorini .... let her personal pride and EGO get in the way and allowed her to trash Ms. Palin's capabilities. Let's hear this be called SEXISM ... Fiorini tried to clean it up after the 1st sentence came out of her mouth by lumping John McCain and then Obama into her critique but it was too late.

She's correct though, Palin couldn't run HP or even a $10M business. She is not qualified to be Vice Principal let alone Vice President

If you vote for McCain because he has a woman on the ticket this year remember, it is going to bite you in the end in 2012 and that is a promise that will be kept. I was for Hillary but I am not a fool to switch to the Replican candidate. My future and the future my children's hang in the balance and I refuse to throw away my vote because things didn't go my way.

Wake up people

Can you really trust a word Mitt Romney says? The level of shameless amibition in this man is just jaw-dropping.

CNN Please post this! Or are you afraid of the message?

You I am really tired of all the hate that is coming from everyone. No wonder we are a joke to the world. If you read the blogs, we hate each other because our political views are different. For TWO people who claim to want to CHANGE Washington DC and politics, they both seem to be falling into the same "old" mold. Whoever wins will have a greatly fractured and divided country to try to bring together because of OUR HATE! Please stop the hate!

Oh yes... McCain doesn't even know how many houses he's got, LOL.
The perfect person to run a business, huh?

LOL Of course Romney would hire McBush. Romney and the other Corporate Billionaire Crooks are in fact trying to hire McBush right now.
Not because McBush has a clue about the economy. He already has admitted that he does not understand the economy. The Romneyesque Corporate Carpet Baggers just want to pull McBush's strings like the puppet he is.

SUUUUUUUUURE!!!!

MItt, yer just lookin' fer a cabinet post. So, give us yer ideas on rescuing the economy or shut the heck up!

This what you call 2 confuse Republicans who dont have a idea who can run a company...Fiorina was right Palin could not run a Ceo Company then she said McCain, Obama, Biden and she also a republican how dumb can you be on this...

Interesting, Fiorina is the poster child for a CEO that got canned and waltzed away with a $42M golden parachute. Why would anyone listen to her?? Except more CEOs that screwed the pooch and got fired too.

Romney's just cleaning up the mess that Fiorina left behind on Tuesday. Politics as usual.

To all of those out there who are able to think for themselves, did you expect anything less from Romney or the Republicans?

He is trying to clean up Fiorina's mess.

Johh McCain said this week in the face of economic uncertainty that the fundamentals of the US economy are strong, Barack Obama immediately seized on this and used it to try to show McCain was wrong. It turns out that Obama is all wet and all wrong on this one as well. It was a cheap political shot by Obama, and it was shallow.

Barack Obama and all Americans should heed the words of Oscar Wilde – "You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do."

John McCain has served this country with distinction; he is loyal; he is honest; he is strong in the face of the enemy; he will protect us and our families; and he will work with both sides of the aisle on the pressing agenda items of our day. This man will likley run a single term, and as God is my witness, I believe he will do absolutley the best for our country without regard to race, gender, or politics.

Im amazed that CNN has not reported that the WHOLE Fiorina video says that Biden and Obama are also NOT qualified to run a large corp.
Truly polictics (media) of change.

Mitt Romney and Carly Fiorina are idiots. Fiorina told the truth by mistake the stupit mormon was hammering Mccain for his lack of knwledge in the primaries now say Mccain is knowledgeable what a lying mormon he will go to hell.

GIVEN THE CURRENT CRISIS CREATED BY GEORGE BUSH AND COMPANY, I BELIEVE THAT NEITHER MITT ROMNEY NOR OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN ARE CAPABLE TO MANAGE AND SOLVE SUCH CURRENT CRISIS.
MITT ROMNEY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. MOST PROBABLY PEOPLE LIKE HIM ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF OUR CURRENT CRISIS.

Pathetic, they can't event agree on this Silly issue, but want to be placed in command of this Country. In my opinion an eventual McCain Administration will be paralized by in-fighting and wrong decision making. The only safe choice this year is OBAMA-BIDEN. This Great Nation deserves much better than McCaIN-Palin!!

we should believe him? why? he and his religion follow false prophets,that were warned about ,in the book of Revelations: there will be many false profits in the times leading up to end of times.

Flip-flp, flip-flop!!

While Palin is an interesting choice and has certainly scared the Deomcrats (judging by their low attacks against her) I am surprised McCain did not pick Romney. Would have really hurt Obama on the economy issue.

THE NATION IS CONVINCED THAT ,MC CAIN – PALIN TICKET ARE THE BEST. THEY KNOW VERY WELL HOW IS THE WAY IN WHICH INDUSTRIES AND COMMERCE ARE ORGANIZED. THEY KNOW HOW TO FACE GOVERNMENT FINANCIALS DISASTER AND ACHIEVE THEINDUSTRY AND TRADE SUCCESS.,WITH TRUE AND REAL IMPROVEMENTS. THEY WILL OVERHAUL THE LEGAL SYSTEM, FACING THE ORGANIZED CRIME, CORRUPTION,ILLEGAL DRUGS, SCHOOL PROBLEMS AT ALL LEVEL EXAMINE IT VERY CAREFUL,WITH REAL IMPROVEMENTS., . NOW IS TIME TO SUPPORT MC CAIN -PALIN TICKET, PLACING THE COUNTRY FIRST. LET BE LOYAL TO OUR COUNTRY WITH MORE SENSE OF

And that's why, you, Mr. Romney, had your campaign fail if you would trust people like Palin to run your show.

In one thing we all agree: neither Palin nor McCain know anything about economy.

I would never, ever let the McPain twins run my company. They would rob it blind and run it into the ground,, much like they plan to do to the country. say NO to four more years of Bush dictatorship!!!

Mitt Romney would lose his investments capital if he would have done that.

Mitt,

You're lying..... you wouldn't hire McCain to park your car. You are like the guy opposite of Michael Douglas in Wall Street. McCain is Bud Fox.

His money is as green as yours, but you have a lot more. You hate McCain and you know it.

It has to pain you to go out there every day and swallow your pride and say what you say about McCain.

too late, dont try to clean it up. Your first thought is usually the correct one. THEY ARE BOTH NOT FIT TO RUN A LARGE CORP.

GOP exploding when they can't even agree amongst themselves.

LOL!!!!

McSame or Failin is not qualified to run this country period.

Obama/Biden

He contradicts McCain also, only now he won't say it out loud due to RNC rules.

You go, Mitt!

hate beeng lied too and if they are polititions then i call them crooks.

McCain sourrounds himself with lobbyists, these are crooks too.

Washington is full of crooks.

Foks we don't want any more crooks in the white house. McCain and Palin are just the same.

mitt rommey stop lying.

Sounds like Mitt Romney is looking for a job in the McCain Administration instead of telling the truth!

Yeah right…But I bet you’d hire Ivy league educated (like your self) Barack Obama! I bet you would.

Obama-Biden 08! Because Knowledge Is Power!

Romney should have been McCain's VP pick if he wanted any credibility on the economy.

Instead, he picked someone with no extensive credentials on anything.

Mind boggling and obviously just a political ploy.

The GOP implossion is the result of the weight of their lies,greed,smears and hate!

They are scrambling now. The Palin "surge" is over and now they have to come to the table with REAL solutions and not just disgusting lies and smears.

Obama-Biden -For ALL Americans(even you racist ones too!)

This is news on CNN? I don't think so.

It's too late to do damage control. That's two days in a row the McCain camp has said stupid things and then try to justify them.

It's called SPIN people!

Wake up!

"I'd be happy to hire John McCain and Sarah Palin to run a business." Really? Truly? And how would you ever get accurate information from either one of them about anything? I doubt she knows what AIG stands for, and he wants to form a commission to study things. I wouldn't hire them to mow my lawn.

And your business will go out of business Romney. What a doe-doe.

They don't contradict each other Fiorina was telling the truth and Mitt is doing damage control. He doesn't seem the same when he talks about McCain now...I sense a little bitterness in him for not being picked. Might not have been a bad choice to have a billionaire business man as your VP in the countries worst economic times....opps to bad!

Wow, Romney has more confidence in McCain's understanding of the economy than McCain does! Enough of the pandering and the lies. Enough of the evasiveness regarding policy/position. Enough of McCain and Palin ineptitude!

Lisa T. Lake Wales, Fl.

Give it up, Mitt. You're not getting the VP slot.

I'd be happy to have Lehman Brothers hire McCain and Palin, especially if it gets them off the campaign trail.

Miss you Mitt (not), all that sucking up you did for nothing. What a shame. Haven't heard too much from you since Palin entered the scene. How interesting. Alan Greenspan said on monday that Mccain's economic plan would spell disaster for the economy and would destroy it. From an article at MSNBC – "A decade ago, John McCain embraced legislation to broadly deregulate banking and insurance industries. Now the GOP nominee is scrambling to recast himself as a champion of regulation. "

It will only get worse if these repukes are allowed to stay in power!!! And they are trying every trick in the book. I dont think they are going to win, but just the thought of it scares the hell out of me. yikes!!!!!

Good for you, Mitt. You learnt from Fiorina's example and managed to keep from getting rolled under the bus...

...for now.

O'Biden 08

Romney can aford it..he is a wealthy man...but the country cannot afford to ahve to teach someone about economics as the president.

Romney who again?
