The Doug Ross link has some great information:

Went through it and WOW! This is VERY damning, clear cut, intentialy biased action. The reasons given by Chrysler which are clearly stated to be "sales volume, customer service scores, local market share and average household income in the immediate area" are totally bogus. In fact the only stats that even begin to show any kibnd of corrilation are...

the odds that any, randomly selected, single dealership would remain open is roughly 75%. The odds that a single dealership would close is roughly 25%.

In the Bentonville, AR territory, the odds that RLJ

is RLJ-McLarty-Landers, which owns six Chrysler dealerships. All six dealerships are on "the safe list."
RLJ's owners "are Steve Landers (long-time car dealer, 4th-generation dealer), Thomas "Mack" McLarty (former Chief of Staff for President Clinton), and Robert Johnson (founder of Black Entertainment Television and co-owner of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats)... McLarty campaigned for Obama in 2008, and Johnson has given countless amounts of money to Democrats over the years."

would remain while its competition gets axed is

.75 * .25 * .25 = .046875 (4.6%).

In Huntsville, AL, the odds are .75 * .25 * .25 = .046875.

In Branson, MO, .75 * .25 *.25 *.25 = .01171875.

In Lee's Summit, MO, .75 * .25 *.25 *.25 *.25 = .0029296875.

In Shreveport, LA, .75 * .25 *.75 = .140625.

What are the odds of all of these RLJ dealerships remaining open while their competitors are wiped out? Maybe 1/10,000,000 of 1%. Yes, that's one ten-millionth of one percent."

Ten million to one. And the communists freak show in dee-cee will, without so much as batting an eye, declare "partisan politics, greedy republicans" and will be tossing packs of race cards in all directions.

Why? Because that is just the kind of scum the communists are and being drunk with percieved "power" to "rule" they are over-reaching to the point of falling flat on their "collective" faces.

See post 42 on problems with the probabilities cited. Also, see this information from 538.com
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/05/news-flash-car-dealers-are-republicans.html

Overall, 88 percent of the contributions from car dealers went to Republican candidates and just 12 percent to Democratic candidates. By comparison, the list of dealers on Doug Ross’s list gave 92 percent of their money to Republicans

The WSJ/Best of the Web carried this story yesterday. They said that if the story isn’t true, we will be hearing the shrill denials from the liberal Obama supporters any minute.
