Sarah Palin fails in a focus group on C-SPAN

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

This is an interesting video posted on Youtube about a focus group consisting of long time republican voter reactions after Sarah Palin’s announcement as the republican Vice Presidential running mate by John McCain.

The results by the voters? She failed miserably…

The voters were asked one by one to use a phrase to describe the choosing of Sarah Palin as the republican Vice presidential nominee. Some of the responses varied from “a breath of fresh air” and “good looking” to “dangerous”, a “huge mistake” and one particular voter even stated:

Senator McCain is 73 years old and he will be 76 years old by the end of his first term. If something were to happen to him in the first fours years… would I want this woman in the white house in a cold war with Russia? I don’t think so.

Several of the voters stated that they had no choice but to switch their vote to Obama!!!

Can you Digg it?

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

google walk offSurprisingly, it seems like the Google and Digg merger is abruptly over. Inside sources say it was the “personality mismatch” and walked away from the table leaving Digg with no deal.

From Techcrunch:

“Two sources close to the companies suggested that some issue that came up during technical due diligence was to blame. One source said that the issue was more personality driven, and that Google decided after spending more time with Digg’s top team that there just wasn’t a fit.

Either way the deal appears to dead and can be added to the long list of failed Digg acquisition deals. And when a company is “left at the altar” other buyers are usually hesitant to step in.”

Accusations of censoring and questionable behavior have plagued Digg.com as of late.
