Fiorina: Palin doesn't have the experience to run HP

McCain supporter Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard, seemed to veer off message for a moment on the McGraw Milhaven show on KTRS radio in St Louis, when she made the case that Sarah Palin may be qualified to run America -- but certainly not to run her old company.

"Do you think she has the experience to run a major company like Hewlett Packard?" the host asked Fiorina.

"No, I don’t," she replied. "But that’s not what she’s running for. Running a corporation is a different set of things."

She then went back on the attack on Obama's experience. (She probably wouldn't want him running HP either.)

"I would just remind you that it is Barack Obama who is running for president. John McCain who is running for president," she said. "Sarah Palin has more experience than Barack Obama has."

"I find it quite stunning, actually, that the Barack Obama campaign is questioning Sarah Palin's experience," she said.

NOTE: That last line is Fiorina's, not mine, though I initially omitted quotation marks by mistake. I find the email I'm getting about it quite stunning....
