Silicon Alley Insider are predicting that Jerry Yang and Sue Decker are on their way out. Specifically:

The board is considering replacing Jerry Yang and Sue Decker, who have lost the confidence of investors and employees. The “nice” way to do this (more likely) would be to allow Jerry to retire to non-executive Chairman. The harsh way (less likely) would be for the board to can him. Sue, meanwhile, is too linked to Jerry to survive. Either way, it seems safe to conclude that Jerry and Sue are just about done. So the next question is, who will they get to run the place? (Meanwhile, don’t you just love this newly agitated Yahoo board? That global pasting they got after they snoozed and hallucinated through the Microsoft deal really must have gotten to them.)

War with Iran gives McCain a marginal boost!

June 30th, 2008

According to resident MSNBC conservative pundit Pat Buchanan strikes on Iran would give McCain an edge, be it a marginal one.

With the exposal of intense covert operations within Iran, the likeliness of a “third front” on the war on terror  increases every day. The GOP is always seen as a party more suited to protect America, but would that theory prove itself if war were to break out? Pat Buchanan thinks so.

Brook’s leaning towards Biden

June 30th, 2008

David Brooks now believes that Joe Biden may be Obama’s VP choice. Last week Obama and his campaign talked about what they were looking for in a VP. Instead of the usual geographical based pick, Obama wants a person he can count on, a ‘trusted adviser.” With that said Brooks and others see Biden filling the spot not only because he can be counted on but also because of his intense foreign policy experience.

Matthews doesn’t think Obama’s gonna play nice!

June 30th, 2008

This week on Hardball Chris Matthews stated that “their not both getting 45 minutes,” in reference to Bill and Hillary Clinton. This was in regards to Bill and Hillary’s primetime speech time during the Democratic convention. Things between the two rival families have been tense at best and bitter at worst.

Although Hillary will undoubtedly have time at the convention, the amount of time she’ll have in comparison with Bill might depend on the relationship between Bill and Barack.

June 30th, 2008

Nikki Finke is stepping in early to predict that the Warner Bros’ remake of The Women will storm the box office on its opening weekend.

On June 2, Finke posted on her blog that The Women could ride the waves of Sex and the City’s box office success with some savvy sex-ploitative marketing. Warner Bros execs have apparently been listening, and have now tripled the initial marketing budget.

The Women stars Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Bette Midler and Jada Pinkett-Smith. It is currently due for release on September 12.
