I've been wondering about the political agenda behind this.

Of course, the MSM will stay miles away from this!

An independent study should fully investigate this and publish the statistical probability on this happening by coincidence.... Then we need to do the media’s job for them.

The state of West Virginia is being hit very hard by this.

Out of 24 Chrysler/Dodge dealers in the state, 17 are on the list to be closed.

West Va. is a largely rural state, with long distances between major cities and towns over winding mountain roads.

I haven’t seen it, but it’s likely a number of these dealers are the only Chrysler dealer in a big geographic area.

Remember Hillary beat Obama badly in the West Virginia primary? And McCain carried this state easily. West Virginia has more registered Democrats than Republicans and leans Democrat in other elected offices. I’m sure Obama and Rahm Emmanuel know all this and took this into account.

I would love to know all the criteria for closing dealers down. I heard some dealers might sue on this very issue, in that many slated to close appear to have been profitable businesses. I don’t know if the dealers have a case, but, most of the value of their businesses were tied up with the fact that they were a franchised dealer of a major auto manufacturer. Take away the franchise, and the business value is near zero.

I cannot imagine that the dealers do not have contracts.

Therefore, I am curious as to why they don't file a class action suit?

They could get one of the tobacco-suing lawyers and go for, oh, $100 Billion?

Wonder if DEAR LEADER would step in to prevent this???

I knew it.
I lost my car key the other day. Needed to go to the dealer to get one made and found they were closing. I was not surprised. They had been very successful but I knew that like a lot of smart businesspeople the owner/founder was a Republican.

As others have pointed out, the only way to properly analyze this is to compare the donations of those who are closed with the donations of those who are kept. If every Chrysler dealer contributed exclusively to McCain, you would see this result no matter which dealers were closed.

You better be careful asking that type of question. You know there are laws against subversion...

I heard some dealers might sue on this very issue, in that many slated to close appear to have been profitable businesses.

I predict an upswing in motor vehicle deaths on rural WV roads. Funny that all of the victims will be former Chrysler car dealers

Obammy has an “everybody” enemies list.

Let’s see, how many “African Hyphen American” dealers will be on the list.

He hates us all.

No power on Earth could convince me that there isn’t politically related favoritism in some of these decisions.

Very interesting. For a glimpse of what BO has in store for the automobile industry, it is useful to look at Pemex, the Mexican national oil monopoly under the PRI. The PRI controled Mexico’s labor unions for decades. Fidel Valazquez headed up the Pemex unionized workers from the 1940s through the late 1990s. Under the PRI and Velasquez, all of whom were living extremely high on the hog, Pemex was a textbook case of inefficiency, patronage and corruption. Hundreds of billions of dollars disappeared. When the workers tried to form other, non-Velesquez unions, the federal labor boards controlled by the PRI stopped them. As a result of all the corruption, Pemex did not have the funding it needed for maintenance and capital investment, and now has accrued a $45 billion debt. Go figure.

I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past that piece of garbage and his criminal enterprise.

Some people dream of impeachment, I dream of RICO.

NOT surprisingly, from our local paper, this column does not mention Obama or the gov’t. But the dealer does not want to go gently into that good night.

Good, this is getting traction. If it pans out that these decisions were politically motivated, and it is looking suspicious at this point, it will be a huge scandal.
