Of course, the private equity firm, Cerebus, say everything is fine at Chrysler. Right........wrong!

I was trying to show Hugh Philips who thought otherwise

I think Chrysler will go down for the count. Its had too many chances and failed every one.

Why The Networks Haven't Called Missouri

From turnout guru Michael McDonald, who is in a position to know:

As someone who works in the quarantine room on election night at Edison Media Research, I can tell you that we will not make a call if a race has the potential to be in a recount situation. In a close race, we review the recount procedures and consider what we believe to be the outstanding absentee and provisional ballots before we are willing to make a call. It is not the job of the media to prejudge the election process when there is a possibility for recount procedures to take place. Think: Florida 2000.

If the Obama campaign makes a formal statement that they concede Missouri, then I would expect the media would call the election outcome. My guess is that they will wait until the results are certified to make a decision if they will request a recount. As we have seen in Minnesota, there can be human errors lurking in the results reported to date.
The big picture: the Obama campaign has every right to a recount if they want one, and the networks aren't presuming to make that judgment for them. There is also a small but tangible chance of a material human error in the vote tabulation.

EDIT.Unofficial results in Missouri show McCain winning by about 4,900 votes. There are about 6,300 provisional ballots statewide that county officials are still reviewing. Counties must send final results to the state by Nov. 18.

But you don't see to understand that the worst automobile companies very seldom issue recalls, they just let them fall apart.

There was only one recall on my AMC Pacer, though there should have been one one every other part. Two or three on my Toyota, they were done almost a week or so after I bought it. One on the transmission on my Caravan, but no trouble with it before or after.
