It would be a big coincidence if it is not one family involved in several dealerships. Maybe we just never had any Italians by that name in San Diego.
 
Rocco graduated from Libertyville High School. I think they are a family of GOP being targeted. Why else hit a dealership that carries all the lines and sold 60 cars last month. The largest Ford Dealer in San Diego did not sell that many cars last month. My guess is Obama thugs making up the lists.

Neither, I sit by my picture window in my office watching the Orioles feed, wondering what our moron of a President will mess up next. DO you have a good explanation for how the dealers being screwed were chosen? There has to be a reason why successful dealers are dumped and losers are left alone.

Pretty funny/scary what you can turn up in a net search. Better go to the source and ask 'em. Tell them that you are a blogger.

"... My guess is Obama had his ACORN goons hit all the businesses for donations..."
I thought ACORN had something to do with voter registration. What is the car connection?

ACORN is a non profit group that have been indicted in several states for illegal campaign activities. They have also harassed banks in several states that denied loans to people that probably did not qualify for a loan. I am sure their activities have stretched to pushing banks into making loans on cars as well as homes. This is just a small bit of the dirt on a very dirty organization provided by FastCheck.org. It is doubtful many convictions will be forthcoming considering who got elected.
 
However, it's not clear whether or not those procedures were followed in Nevada prior to a highly publicized raid by state officials on Oct. 7. According to an affidavit by Colin Hayes, a criminal investigator for the secretary of state's office, a probe began July 2 after the county registrar reported receiving a number of suspicious registration forms from ACORN. Hayes did not state whether or not those suspicious forms had been flagged by ACORN before being turned in. Later, during a July 18 meeting, ACORN's lawyer told local and state officials that the group had identified a number of suspicious registrations and "would be willing to provide such information" for further investigation. On Aug. 7, at the request of the county registrar, ACORN supplied copies of documents related to 33 ACORN workers who had been fired for "suspicious" voter registration activities.
 
Investigator Hayes followed up, confirmed that many registrations were faked, and found a former ACORN worker who confessed to faking most of her forms. After obtaining a warrant based on the affidavit, state officials seized records and computers. Secretary of State Ross Miller was quoted as saying the faked forms included names from the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.
 
On banking:
It stretches the facts, however, to say that ACORN "forced" banks to make risky loans, though it has certainly applied pressure on banks to make loans to minority and low-income borrowers. ACORN also has worked directly with banks in a joint effort to increase such lending. In Chicago these efforts date back at least to 1992

I'm sending you a scrap booking starter kit for Christmas. You need another hobby.
 
I do find some of the dealer's selection suspicious but I think it has to do with dealers who upset Chrysler's management over the years. But i haven't spent most of the day researching this on the internet.

One dealer suggested it was those dealers who did not order extra cars in late winter 2009 at Chrysler's request. He said that at a later conference call, Chrysler suggested they would remember those who did not step up when they need them. Sour Grapes??

Good thing that it was a suggestion. If Chrysler was pursuing such a policy, all it would be doing is digging a larger hole for itself and its dealers. There aren't many dealerships out there displaying a full lot of new product.
