re: #713 Ward Cleaver

I’m convinced that bankruptcy is inevitable for GM. The only divisions they really need are Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Buick. Sell off, or spin off Saab, Hummer, and Saturn, and kill Pontiac (it would be a mercy killing at this point) and GMC (which is merely badge-engineered Chevrolet products).

Ford will probably be the only one to survive mostly intact, thanks to Alan Mullaly. As for Chrysler, the Jeep brand is the salable thing they have. Eighty-six the rest.

Sounds good. Who makes Dodge? Is that GM or Chrystler?
I suspect Obama will give GM more $$$. Even though the UAW should be completely purged, Obama will throw GM another tax-wasting life line to save the UAW. For the big D - this is about saving their pay-to-play overlords.
