Clinton has just 56,090, and Giuliani is the candidate equivalent of the nerdy freshman with a mere 3,085 friends. What does this have to do with business? Nothing. That was the...

Courting Key Influencers May Be Wasted Effort
Oprah's been hitting the campaign trail with Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama (and Chuck Norris is stumping for Mike Huckabee) in hopes that the celebrity support will sway wavering voters (trust us, this has something to do with business).
