Carly Fiorina: “I Know John McCain”

The former Hewett-Packard Board Chair and CEO just gave her speech at the RNC. She is a bright, smart, savvy business person. The line she kept peppering her speech with was, “I Know John McCain.”

I couldn’t help but recall Lloyd Bentsen’s lines in his 1988 debate with Dan Quayle that began with “I knew Jack Kennedy” and finally ended with, “You’re no Jack Kennedy.” I intuited, perhaps insanely, that the subliminal message was, “I know John McCain. Barack Obama is no John McCain.”

I’m a mess.
