This morning former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, who speaks for the McCain campaign on the talking head circuit, just gave the Democrats more ammunition and the Republicans a headache.
Earlier this morning she had said that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, McCain's VP pick, is not qualified to be CEO of a major corporation like Hewlett-Packard, which Fiorina once led.
On MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell asked her to clarify, and Fiorina dug herself deeper into the hole.
"Well," she said, "I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation."
The clip cuts off before she adds that neither Barack Obama nor Joe Biden could run a big company, either.
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor responded:
If John McCain's top economic adviser doesn't think he can run a corporation, how on Earth can he run the largest economy in the world in the midst of a financial crisis? Apparently even the people who run his campaign agree that the economy is an issue John McCain doesn't understand as well as he should.
