The economy can't be too bad if we're seeing multi billion dollar hostile takeovers...

Before the moonbats arrive and co-habitate on this thread, they are going to accuse United Technologies of being a Republican front group which is buying Diebold in an attempt to rig all the voting machines to deliver McCain votes in November.

I live in Sarasota, FL and we have much more than our share of people with vacant eyes and loud voices.

My guess is they will proclaim Karl Rove the leader of United Tech.

Oh, trying to buy an election, eh? :)

Actually the best thing for Diebold. Fantastic innovations in ATM’s for the old line banking equipment company. Great marketing killed competitors including IBM. But expanding into point of sale was a failure, as was debit card food stamp benefits, voting machines, POS gas pump terminals all were dismal ventures. Maybe United Tech will boot the losers.
