As for the majority and who are members of it -- you may be one of the few people in OP who don't think Stevens, Clarke, Renaud, and Collins were representing themselves as the new board majority. Not to mention even GM Bob Thompson has publicly recognized this new board majority, and you can bet he did not include Cordwell, Terry or O'Hare as among its members. There are only four left.

Thompson calls the majority the board's "senior leadership." An interesting description and one can only wonder how he came up with that nonsense.

Then we have O'Hare calling Stevens a bully in a newspaper account; we have Cordwell saying he was "appalled" at how Stevens treated O'Hare. We have O'Hare or Cordwell apparently releasing internal board emails to the press. You know ... the kind of thing the old majority under Terry would have Joe Moore investigating. We have Terry trying to be Mr. Nice but obviously siding with O'Hare and Cordwell, two board members on the Terry majority until the election last August.

The underlying tension between these two groups (Stevens/Clarke/Collins/Renaud and Terry/Cordwell/O'Hare) is palpable. That is why what happened last Saturday was a political bombshell. You, or anyone, is free to think otherwise. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they are all off someplace having drinks and singing Kumbaya.

Joe, this board majority only existed in your fertile imagination. The only commonality they had was that they were PO at the GM who they felt needed to be reined in.

Once that was accomplished (so to speak) they resorted to pretty much every man for himself which is the normal course of business in OPA.

Stevens/Clarke/Collins/Renauld was a marriage of convenience headed for Juarez the 1st time an issue dealing with financing OPA presented itself.
