Yesterday’s very bad day for Carly Fiorina didn’t go unnoticed within the McCain campaign, as CNN reports:
A top McCain official contacted by CNN said, on condition on anonymity, “No big deal, but not how you get on the surrogate all-star team. Very Biden-like.”
“This campaign source said Fiorina would be discouraged from additional media interviews.
Another top campaign adviser was far less diplomatic.
“Carly will now disappear,” this source said. “Senator McCain was furious.” Asked to define “disappear,” this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.
Fiorina was booked for several TV interviews over the next few days, including one on CNN. Those interviews have been canceled.
If I were leaking to the press like that about Fiorina, I’d be worried about getting bugged.
Late Update: Atrios makes a good point: “Now that the government is running the biggest insurance company in the world, shouldn’t we elect a president who is qualified to run a large company?”
