The main problem about electing McCain -- at least from a conservative point of view -- has always been McCain. Despite Macomber's opinion that "...it seemed fairly obvious that McCain was lucky to have Carly Fiorina aboard," it appears to me that one new problem is Fiorina herself.

I don't know exactly what caused her to fail at Hewlett-Packard, but an infatuation with Hegel just might be part of it. An overly-theoretical, not to say airy-fairy and artsy-bartsy, view of politics doesn't spell success to me, nor does an appreciation of Beethoven based on his "angst." I too prefer Ludwig to Amadeus, but it has to do with his music rather than his personal suffering.

"There was also feel-good talk..." Macomber informs us. Wonderful -- just wonderful! As if we hadn't already had too much of that from Angry John with his concerns about global warmenizing.

Finally, Macomber says Fiorina assures us that McCain knows where there are bodies and levers and pressure points, and that "One thing people know about John McCain is that he walks the talk."

p>The idea that McCain is merely walking the talk is what concerns me. That, and my fear that Carly Fiorina merely talks the walk. br> -- Richard Donley br> New Lyme, Ohio /p> p> Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Fiorina run Hewlett-Packard into the ground? Wasn't she fired? If memory serves correctly, Fiorina was grossly incompetent. McCain is going to have to do better than that. br> -- Louise br> Maryland
