Re: [MOPO] Is Ebay using the GOP Presidential race and Sarah Palin to promote itself?
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?

Re: [MOPO] Is Ebay using the GOP Presidential race and Sarah Palin to promote itself?
MessageTechnically, in her speech she said she put it on eBay, she didn't outright say she sold it on eBay, though, you're right, that's what was implied. As for eBay's connection to the campaign, Whitman of course is no longer CEO of the company but by her presence in the campaign it wouldn't surprise me if she were to get a cabinet seat or some other high profile appointment (which is I'm sure what she is angling for), should McCain win. Her efforts probably have more to do with her own personal grandiose ambitions, rather than the fortunes of eBay. Who knows? Hey, maybe he'll send her to Iraq...

[MOPO] Fw: Re: [MOPO] Is Ebay using the GOP Presidential race and Sarah Palin to promote itself?
I don't think Ebay is trying all that hard, and let's be honest, they don't have to. Ebay, for better or worse, has worked itself in the pop culture lexicon. People don't say sell it or auction it anymore - they say ebay it. I don't believe Palin is trying to mislead anyone. She hasn't said she sold it on ebay - she has always said she put it on ebay. The press and the public I think took the next step and assumed it sold. Whether or not it sold really isn't the point. Even if you don't agree with her politics, any politician who cuts government pork like she's clipping coupons has to be admired. Besides, if she could sell the jet on MoviePosterBid, I think she would, since there are no listing fees!

Re: [MOPO] Is Ebay using the GOP Presidential race and Sarah Palin to promote itself?
Franc, Methinks it's the other way around. The GOP is the brand here. Ebay is, for better or worse, still seen by the majority of the public as a highly successful business venture with no legitimate competitors as an internet auction site. The GOP, not Ebay, is thus promoting itself by associating it's brand with a successful public venture and having been endorsed by the former CEO is the tacit connection. As I see it, this is an effort by the GOP to attribute to itself success by association. Of course, if perception is reality, that's fine if you're a buyer of an item on Ebay or of rhetoric in an election. Otherwise, as we've seen on Ebay lately, and in elections throughout time, the truth is the devil in the details...

I totally agree with your last comment about not letting political stuff edge in on MOPO.

Re: [MOPO] Is Ebay using the GOP Presidential race and Sarah Palin to promote itself?
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!!

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.

however in the short film about her yesterday it did say she sold it on ebay At 08:26 AM 9/5/2008, Dave Rosen wrote: Technically, in her speech she said she put it on eBay, she didn't outright say she sold it on eBay, though, you're right, that's what was implied. As for eBay's connection to the campaign, Whitman of course is no longer CEO of the company but by her presence in the campaign it wouldn't surprise me if she were to get a cabinet seat or some other high profile appointment (which is I'm sure what she is angling for), should McCain win. Her efforts probably have more to do with her own personal grandiose ambitions, rather than the fortunes of eBay. Who knows? Hey, maybe he'll send her to Iraq...

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.
