Now let's play "whose business acumen do I trust?"

Carly Fiorina, McCain campaign spokeswoman, ran Hewlett-Packard into the ground before receiving a nice, plush $21 million dollar golden parachute - the kind of golden parachute John McCain supposedly opposes. (I wish I could get 2.5 times my annual salary to suck at my job. And somehow corporate America runs better than government?) She thinks none of the presidential candidates, including her very own John McCain, could run a business.

Warren Buffett, not affiliated with any campaign (though he is notably pro-Democrat out of a basic sense of fairness and decency), is the world's richest man and perhaps one of the most successful businesspeople in American history. If anyone knows how to run a business, it's Warren Buffett - and he said in March that he'd happily put Obama or Clinton in charge of a business.

So who do you trust - the woman who took a successful computer company and crashed it, or perhaps the most successful businessman ever?

For me, the choice is easy.
