Steve Forbes Finds Silver Lining in Senator Byrd's Death, Tweets It, Clarifies
By Carl Franzen - Politics DailyNo stranger to controversy, Steve Forbes, CEO and editor of Forbes magazine and former Republican presidential (primary) candidate, launched a whole new uproar today when he used his Twitter account to address an upside of the death of Democratic West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd. It wasn't the medium that brought Forbes a slew of negative attention, but rather the message. Take a look at the tweet he posted this afternoon. .bbpBox{background:url(http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/65979043/twitter_forbes.JPG) #C0DEED;padding:20px;} Good news: Financial reform bill may still fail ...
Tax Proposal Garners Fresh Criticism -- From Steve Forbes

Oscar De La Hoya Beats Steve Forbes
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsOscar De La Hoya defeated Steve Forbes tonight by unanimous decision, beginning his farewell tour with a solid showing in front of an overwhelmingly pro-De La Hoya Cinco de Mayo weekend crowd in Carson, California. De La Hoya said before the fight that he would use his jab effectively, and that's exactly what he did. He was cautious early before turning more to power punches in the middle of the fight, and he opened a gash near Forbes' eye in the sixth round and controlled throughout.Still, some will find it a bit disappointing that De La Hoya wasn't even more dominant. Forbes entered the ring ...
If Oscar De La Hoya Loses to Steve Forbes, Does His Career End?
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsOscar De La Hoya will box Steve Forbes Saturday night in a fight that no one really gives Forbes any chance of winning. Based on the odds at Bodog, you have to bet $2,000 to win $100 on De La Hoya, or you can bet $100 to win $1,000 on Forbes.But Tim Dahlberg raises an interesting point: If De La Hoya were to lose, would this be not just the beginning of his farewell tour but also the end?The most lucrative fight in boxing would be a De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather rematch, which everyone expects will happen in the fall. But such a rematch would lose any credibility it has now if De La Hoya were ...
McCain's Veep?
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyNow that the laurel of the Republican nomination has settled rather firmly upon John McCain, the next dramatic event in the GOP universe (discounting Huckabee's imminent withdrawal and several pending McCain endorsements) will be McCain's selection of a running mate. Naturally, the first instinct is to contemplate the losers of the GOP race. The thinking is that, by adding a former opponent to your ticket, you might thereby cull his voters to your ticket. Of course, it didn't work so well for John Kerry in 2004, or Al Gore in 2000.... Realistically, McCain must decide upon the effect he hopes ...
Romney Donates $17.4 Million to Campaign
By David Knowles - Politics DailyPresidential candidate Mitt Romney is breaking fundraising records, but that may not be good news for his campaign. Specifically, he is out-pacing Steve Forbes, who, in 2000, donated $38.7 million dollars of his personal fortune in a filed bid to become the Republican nominee.To date, Mr. Romney has poured in $17.4 million into his own coffers (not including the purchase of a $61,435 Winnebago known as the Mitt Mobile). That's a higher rate than the $16.5 million Forbes infused in the first nine months of the 2000 campaign. ...
