Anyone think Team Bush won the recent election by playing by all the rules...? Message 20978861 It's sorta like Karl Rove's Special Forces (or Mercenaries) going up against Bob Shrum's National Guard...Kerry's team was TOTALLY overwhelmed by dirty tricks and deceptive ad campaigns...The Smearboat Vets for Truth didn't just appear by accident -- all roads lead back to Rove (who will do almost ANYthing to get his candidate elected). Shrum used to write great speeches for Kennedy BUT he has never run a successful Presidential campaign...He held Kerry back from quickly responding to the misleading Swiftboat ads -- a big mistake...Shrum's Ad Agency produced some marginal ads that didn't stand out or cover issues that ALL Americans really care about (like a clean environment and Abu Grahib)...The Dems should have hired a real marketing wizard (like Donny Deutch) to head up all the advertizing for Kerry...George Soros could have helped fund a real progressive media network in the last few years too. Lots of mistakes were made in 2004 and Kerry could and should have won the election....In fact, I still believe that IF all the votes had been counted honestly and accurately in FL and OH Kerry would be our President. -s2@WillKarlRoveEVERBeHeldAccountableForHisActions.com

some interesting comments on eBay... <<...Ten years ago eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar as a means to help his fiancée find other PEZ collectors on the Internet. Today, eBay is a $4 billion company with a $60 billion market cap. If it grew its revenues at 35% for the next 10-years, and had the same proportion of revenues to market cap, it would imply eBay would have $80 billion in revenue and a market value of $1.2 trillion! (Or about 9% of today’s overall U.S. equity market value.) We like to think nothing is impossible but this is less likely than Roger Clemens winning the Cy Young award at age 52. So while our admiration for eBay is gigantic, and last week’s 18% correction (or $12 billion) seems silly given that the company only missed Wall Street estimates by a penny, and earnings still rose a sensational 44%; investors still need to acknowledge that future growth won’t be as spectacular as the past...>> thinkequity.com
