Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co. and a top adviser to Republican Sen. John McCain, met with the former Clinton backers at a private home for more than an hour and a half. Fiorina said in an interview that over glasses of iced tea and finger food, she fielded questions from Democratic women she described as “intensely uncomfortable with the notion of a President Obama.’’

9. In 2005 Hewlett-Packard's stock jumped 7% on news of her departure.

10. So she is meeting with half of the pseudo Clinton supporters who claim they will vote for McCain? nt

[Bette Noir]

11. Yeah, that's a good idea.

12. I love the irony here.

The Republican base doesn't like McCain, so he's trying to peel off an insignificant amount of ex-Hillary supporters -- the same Hillary that the Republican base hates with a passion.
