6. Yeah and did you hear Ford say Obama had to give the speech of his
life Thursday night and if he did he would get back in this race. I thought he was in the race, we need a bigger lead, yes but it is going to be tight for a while yet and maybe all the way to election day but he sure as hell is in this race.

11. That's why the m$m has Ford on there; he's so damned wishy washy,
he sure sounds like a DINO to me, or has been told by the DLC not to show overt enthusiasm. Either way, I wish neither of them were there representing my party; they're making a mockery of it.

21. Ford's a flop. He is the DLC chair for a reason. Helping Obama is not the reason.

doing business with Iran while she was CEO but nobody has put much out about it in the MSM of course.

14. Bring it on
Rezko is so absolutely "Whitewater" it's ridiculous. It's like legitimately buying a car from a used car dealer that was later found selling drugs out of his business. And, in the helped the car dealer helped you find a buyer for your car first so to buy the car from him. Rezko did bad shit but he ALSO had legitimate operations.

16. What, did her spies give her some new information?
Look up Hewlett Packard spy scandal.

This woman is such a hack. Managed to bring HP's stock from 54 all the way down to 21 from the time she was hired to the time she was fired. Talks a great game, though.

17. Obama knows Rezko was coming no matter what
he knows everything is on the table, including Michelle.

The one thing that is uncertain is if and when Cindy McCain's problems become fair play. McCain doesn't know exactly how far he can go before triggering that nuke.

19. FactCheck.org: "Rezko Reality"
On the defensive over the extent of multiple McCain homes, the GOP candidate strikes back. But his TV spot gives an oversimplified and misleading account of how Obama bought his own $1.6 million house in Chicago.

--The ad says Chicago power broker Tony Rezko got "political favors" including "$14 million from taxpayers." But there's no evidence of any connection to the Obama home purchase. The $14 million was to build apartments for low-income seniors. Obama wrote a letter supporting the "worthy" project, but both men say Rezko didn't ask for the letter.

-- It says Rezko "purchased part of the property couldn't afford." Rezko's wife did buy an adjoining tract but later sold the land at a profit. Obama paid market price for his home.

23. This is their new talking point
Jake Tapper was on ABC's Sunday mornig show and "warned" that if Obama tries to use the house issue it would open the door to Rezko and Wright. Most on the panel disagreed with saying. They said it was going to be brought up anyway.

24. Is she gonna hire a PI to run illegal wiretaps???
The circumstances behind Ms. Fiorina's unceremonious ouster from Hewlett-Packard are not exactly reasons for confidence in her positions.

Go there, Carly. I'm sure you want to bring up the resounding "success" the Fiorina HP was, don't you?

Go there, asshole. Please. :mad:

29. This woman has ZERO credibility, read this blog from 2006
Don't DO it Carly!

For someone who is running around the country these days portraying herself as a victim, Carly Fiorina is actually one very lucky lady.

Thanks to the boardroom scandal at her old company, Hewlett-Packard, there is a renewed interest in her controversial tenure as CEO/chairwoman of that company — enough interest to land her interview segments on last Sunday's "60 Minutes," on this morning's "Good Morning America" and a second print run on her new book, "Tough Choices." Better yet, because the recent HP scandal centers on Patricia Dunn, the woman who replaced her as chairwoman, and involves many of the same players, Fiorina is now free to utter dark implications that her own case really involved secret conspiracies and sexism — and actually have a few suckers out there believe her.

What Patricia Dunn did was idiotic and illegal, and she was obviously in over her head as chairwoman of the board. But, by all indications, she let her obsession with protecting HP and her duties to corporate governance take her over the line into breaking the law. Everything she did was for the company, not her own self-aggrandizement.

No one can ever say that last line about Carly Fiorina, the very embodiment of the dot-com boom corporate superstar.

One is hard-pressed to think of anything she did during her time at either Lucent or HP that wasn't designed to burnish her own image — at the sacrifice of anyone who got in her way. Indeed, that's exactly what she's doing now with her self-exculpatory book: blaming the victims — that is, everyone but herself — for her failings as a manager.

There is one more way that Fiorina is lucky. Just as she managed to skip out of Lucent right before the Feds arrived, so too has she been out of HP just long enough for the media not to draw too many connections between the scandal and the pestilential culture she created at the company. Only a few reporters have noted that the leaks began during the last days of Fiorina at Hewlett-Packard, when her policies and personality had turned the board into an armed camp, etched with paranoia and divided against itself.

It was from this poisonous stew that the scandal emerged — a passive-aggressive Dunn, faced with what appeared to be a mutinous board, instead of confronting the directors head-on, instead decided to become Inspector Javert behind the scenes. That this little fiasco took a year to play out guaranteed that Fiorina would be far enough from the blast zone to point at the smoking crater and be able to claim, not that she helped set the process in motion but that she was the first victim of this evil cabal.

For all her attempts to rewrite history, there are certain facts that Fiorina cannot escape. The first is that in the only plebiscite on her leadership — the proxy vote over the acquisition of Compaq Computer — HP employees, men and women, repudiated her. Fiorina may claim now that HP's current strong business is the product of her strategy — a dubious claim in itself — but the fact is that the first requirement of corporate leadership is to get the employees to follow. At that, she failed miserably.

30. Sorry Caly, but what? Are you talking about how McCondo forgot about how many houses he has?
I didn't hear you. Are you referring to how McCondo forgot about how many houses he has? You mean when he forgot about how McCondo forgot about how many houses he has?

That?

Well, maybe we should focus on other issues like you want instead of how McCondo forgot about how many houses he has. Perhaps. Was it seven or ten? I heard there were more. No?
