She makes more gaffes than he does, and that's saying something...

Fiorina says we must ‘fully fund’ NCLB, forgets McCain voted against full funding.

On NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday, spokeswoman for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) Carly Fiorina said McCain would continue to support the “imperfect” legislation of No Child Left Behind, though she added, “We need to learn the lessons, fix the problems, fully fund it.” However, McCain has repeatedly voted against fully funding the law, according to the National Education Association:

Since 2003, McCain voted repeatedly against fully funding No Child Left Behind, resulting in an unfunded mandate that has continued to further tap local communities and states during an economic downturn.

In June, McCain adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin declared McCain was “fully supportive of the notion that we ought to fully fund” NCLB. However, on the same day, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote that another adviser, Lisa Graham Keegan, “said McCain believes NCLB is adequately funded.”

2. Carly seems like a particularly poor surrogate for the Old Man.
First the Viagra flap, now this. And the campaign has barely started. Maybe he'll make her VP!
