This is interesting.
And I just bet we haven't heard the end of it.
End of what you may wonder . . .
over the fold ! now !
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin does not have the experience to run a major company like Hewlett Packard.
So says Carly Fiorina, one of John McCain's top advisers and the former CEO of that company.
Fiorina made the comments on the McGraw-Hill Show on St. Louis KTRS Radio, a statement that was first reported by Huffington Post.
During the final minute of the interview, the host asked: "Do you think she has the experience to run a major company, like Hewlett Packard?"
"No, I don't," responded Fiorina. "But you know what? That's not what she's running for."

I'm not sure if this comment makes me feel better or worse.
But one thing for sure, it's a showstopper.
And from CNN's POLITICAL TICKER:
Running a corporation is a different set of things."
"I would just remind you that it is Barack Obama who is running for president," she continued. "John McCain who is running for president."
Fiorina contended that while Palin may not be up the task of running a multi-billion dollar IT company, she does have more relevant governing experience than Obama does.
According to ABC News:
Fiorina was dismissed as the CEO of Hewlett Packard in 2005 after a merger with Compaq floundered, stock prices plunged 50 percent, and 20,000 people were layed off. Fiorina walked away with a $21.4 million severance package.
Asked whether McCain was talking about CEOs like Fiorina, McCain's top adviser who walked away with millions in compensation as her company's stock price plunged, Rogers said McCain was "talking about the issues that are before us today."
