A really great taken down of Carly Fiorina, McCain's campaign front woman, from DK's monitor:
I just watched key McCain surrogate Carly Fiorina twist and turn through a tortured, disingenuous appearance on Meet the Press. I have to say that she is quite possibly one of the top five people I have discovered during this campaign process that I have instinctively come to find immediately and viscerally repellent.
...See below the fold for the many, many reasons why Carly Fiorina is a smarmy, incompetent, lying hack and why she deserves our ire...Fiorina oozes a smarmy, patronizing condescension (on par in my opinion with such ignoble luminaries as Nancy Grace) that empowers her put on a fake smile and lie through her teeth about:
Obama -- For example, she trotted out her favorite bald-faced lie du jour again that Obama would raise taxes on everyone. THE TRUTH: Obama would give the 95% of Americans making under around $250,000 per year a $1,000 tax cut.
and
McCain - See her statement last week that McCain never signed off on efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade. THE TRUTH: McCain's own campaign website touts McCain's fervent support for, yes, "Overturning Roe v. Wade".

I did some digging online and came up with an apt 10-point discussion of why Hewlett Packard and the markets in general came to hate her during and after her tenure as HP's CEO. It's worth a read in its entirety:
