CEO at the GOP
By Robert D. Novak
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Conservatives and party regulars were
not happy about the selection of Carly Fiorina to head the
Republican National Committee's "Victory 2008" campaign
raising funds for the presidential election. She was one
of the nation's most visible CEOs before she was fired
by Hewlett-Packard in 2005 for not generating enough
profits.
Federal Election Commission records show Fiorina con-
tributed nothing to the Republican Party the last eight
years. Her only political giving was to Sen. John McCain's
presidential campaign -- $2,100 in 2006 and $2,300 in
2007. Fiorina was at McCain's side when he campaigned in
the critical Michigan and Florida races.
Fiorina has no standing in the conservative movement and
has taken no position on the abortion question.

MARK PENN'S BOAST
Mark Penn, Sen. Hillary Clinton's embattled chief strate-
gist, angered his critics by taking credit for her come-
back in Tuesday's primaries. Penn said the "3 a.m."
television ad that he conceived was the "tipping point."
In fact, it never was shown in Ohio, where Clinton
defeated Sen. Barack Obama decisively.
The ad contrasted Clinton's and Obama's experience in
national security, by portraying her ability to take an
emergency telephone call at 3 a.m. It was broadcast
widely in Texas, where Clinton narrowly edged Obama in
the popular vote.
Clinton's big win in Ohio, the main force behind her
comeback, was fueled by Democratic voter opposition to
the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Clinton
got a boost there when it was reported that University
of Chicago professor Austan Goolsbee, Obama's economics
adviser, reassured Canadian officials not to take
seriously his candidate's opposition to NAFTA. Democratic
insiders call Ohio the "Goolsbee primary."

Florida Follies
Democrats were getting ready for a do-over Florida
Democratic presidential primary in mid-June, when the
state's Republican governor, Charlie Crist, changed
signals Thursday. He indicated in separate interviews
on Fox and CNN he would rather seat delegates elected
in the virtually uncontested Jan. 29 Florida primary,
won by Hillary Clinton.
Eyebrows of Florida Republican activists were raised
last Sunday when Crist went on CNN to say he would go
along with a do-over of the Jan. 29 voting, held one
week early in violation of Democratic National Committee
(DNC) rules. But Republicans fear a re-vote would be
won by Sen. Barack Obama, who they consider a tougher
opponent of Sen. John McCain than Clinton.
A footnote: Michigan also conducted a DNC-prohibited
primary on Jan. 15, where Clinton's was the only name
on the ballot. A Michigan re-vote would be a "firehouse
primary," conducted by the state party rather than the
state government, and Florida also might take that course.
Ridge for VP
Vice presidential support has arisen for former
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, as it did eight years ago,
and again caused consternation in the pro-life movement
and among conservative Catholics. Speculation about
Ridge, a pro-choice Catholic, for vice president in 2000
caused a furor. Catholic Bishop Donald Trautman in Ridge's
hometown of Erie, Pa., barred him from speaking at
Catholic events in northwestern Pennsylvania because of
his position on abortion.
Ridge is a supporter and friend of McCain and, like him,
is a decorated Vietnam combat veteran. His value on the
national ticket would be trying to dislodge Pennsylvania
from the Democratic grasp.

Dialing for Dollars
Once Sen. John McCain clinched the Republican presidential
nomination in Tuesday's primaries with a puny treasury, he
was off to Florida to start a week-long fund-raising tour.
McCain began Wednesday night at a private home in Gulf
Stream, Fla. He went to Naples for luncheon Thursday at
the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort.
McCain was off to the Westin Buckhead in Atlanta Thursday
night, to be followed the coming week with events at the
Hilton St. Louis Frontenac Monday, the Plaza in New York

Shore Country Club in Camp Hill, Pa., Thursday noon, the
