Vice President Fiorina? Madam Secretary?
When it comes to that high-profile demographic of female former tech industry CEOs, it’s no secret John McCain is far and away the front-runner among presidential candidates.
But if McCain wins, Fiorina might become much more. In a recent interview with HispanicBusiness magazine she indicated she’d be interested in being vice president if McCain wins. And in speeches in Washington earlier this week, McCain specifically mentioned Fiorina, Whitman and Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers as possible cabinet secretaries, according to the San Francisco Chronicle and others.
In Pittsburgh today, McCain laid out his economic plans. That’s Fiorina who clearly has McCain’s back in the Associated Press photo above.

I’ve been a strong supporter of John McCain, but I’ll reevaluate that support if Carly Fiorina is on the ticket. She was an incompetent CEO at HP, and her subsequent memoir underscored her lack of judgment.

I would be very saddened if McCain chose her to be VP. She would guarantee the democrats a win and that would stink. I could not vote for him, though I strongly support him and the republican party. McCain is old and if his health wane, the thought of the sinker of so many jobs at Compaq and HP running the country… I just cannot and will not support. Praying this is not in the mind of McCain. God bless.
