This is the pickle that GM itself is to blame for - follow me here.....
Democrats and liberals are "stereotypically" the buyers of imports, Prius, econoboxes, and being very "anti-GM" for GM's SUV persona.
Republicans and conservatives have "stereotypically" always been supportive of GM because they tend to tout the "buy American, bigger is better, F*** the imports and their tinny Priuses" attitude.
HOWEVER, republicans and concervatives are also VERY, VERY anti-government intervention. They preach small government, let companies succeed and fail as they might, help business by cutting taxes, not supporting them during a bankruptcy......
So now, you see the catch 22 GM is in right now. The dems won't buy GM because of the stigma of their gas hog SUVs, and now the repubs won't buy them because they are under control of the government.....
Whatever the new GM will be, they have a crapload of work cut out for them to gain America's acceptance again.
Once they went to capitol hill and begged for help, GM brought all the hell and damnation of ugly politics into their glass tower at the RenCen, and now it's really hit the fan.
They need people to focus on cars and cars alone, and cut through all the politics.
