MessageMaybe mentioning e*ay is like kissing babies or shaking hands with pop stars in funny sun glasses espousing causes.
You don't have to like them, know anything about them, care for what they do, but that picture shows you're either nice, kindly, fatherly (female pollies never seem to kiss babies) and are hip. It's just another photo op that might convince some no-brainer somewhere that Hey! He/she is cool! They know about.... - fill in the blank - and another potential vote might be in the bag. As for someone registering a blind email address to send hate mail to another MOPO member, who would be small-minded enough to do that? Probably someone who can't get their way about things they want, probably. For shame.

It was not my intention to do politics on MOPO. I was simply trying to draw out a discussion about the Ebay connection and branding but some folks on this board are apparently so uptight about anyone potentially speaking negatively about the GOP that I've now virtually been accused of being a member of the liberal-based media. Someone even registered a new account on yahoo so that they could send me some hate e-mail. Unbelievable.

It's funny... I thought I was probably the activist in the group. The one most likely to pack up and go to Denver (if my daughter wasn't at an important show that week)... And here you are going at it...politics on MoPo. People, it's amazing I've kept my mouth shut! Must be all those evening blogs...

No keep going! Maybe the Obama campaign will hear about it, and make the focus of their remaining two months the horrifying SCANDAL that Gov Palin merely put up, rather than successfully completed the sale of, the state jet on eBay! And the even greater scandal that McCain doesn't recognize the difference! And the dreadful conspiracy, shades of Halliburton, that eBay has taken control of the GOP through its former CEO!!1!11!! Obama - eBay Sales Results We Can Believe In! Too bad he didn't pick Bruce as a running mate.

"But you've never let the truth stop you before, so why do it now?" You don't even know me. The fact is she implied that she SOLD it on Ebay and her surrogates that hit the afternoon talk shows all said "She sold it on Ebay." She didn't. That's called lying. And my question was "Why the plug" for Ebay? Had she said I sold the jet, the point of the story would have been the same.

No. Actually she never said that she sold it on eBay at all - her line was that she "put it on eBay", which of course is absolutely true. (You can watch that part of her speech again here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82hn63DSjGE&feature=related, or read the text here:http://coverawards.com/2008/09/03/news_sarah_palin_rnc_acceptance_speech_42752/).

This is so weird, I just have to ask the question: Is Ebay so desperate that it is trying to promote itself through the GOP Presidential race? No doubt everyone knows by now that former CEO Meg Whitman was previously an advisor to Mitt Romney's failed presidential campaign and is now one of John McCain's chief advisors being one of the several people he indicated he most admired and sought professional advice from. Well, Sarah Palin has mentioned several times now in her stump speech in which she lists all her accomplishments as Governor of Alaska that he successfully auctioned off on Ebay the luxury Alaskan state jet bought by the previous government for use by her office. Turns out that's not true. After going unsold for months, the jet was put in the hands of Turbo North Aviation, an Anchorage aircraft broker, which put an asking price of $2.45 million on the nearly $2.7 million jet. It was ultimately sold privately to an Alaskan business man for $2.1 million, $31,000 of which went to Turbo Aviation as a sales commission. Why is Sarah Palin lying about an Ebay connection? It doesn't diminish whatever accomplishment she achieved in selling an Alaskan state jet but it strangely propels Ebay into the headlines and promotes it as an effective selling tool in the public's eyes. I find this very puzzling. Does anybody else?
