NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- General Electric will order "tens of thousands" of electric cars in about a week, the conglomerate's chief executive said Friday.
In a speech in London, CEO Jeffrey Immelt said the purchase would be the largest of its kind in history. But he did not specify exactly how many vehicles GE would buy, nor what brand of electric cars would be included in the order.

In an unusual move, feds subpoena wedding photos of reputed mobster
By George Anastasia Inquirer Staff Writer Picture this: Reputed mob boss Joe Ligambi is dressed in a tuxedo. He's rubbing elbows with alleged members and associates of the Philadelphia underworld at a swank wedding reception, holding court at a table near the front of the room, stopping occasionally to pose for pictures.
It sounds like a scene out of The Godfather.
But the possibility of such a scenario has whetted the appetite of federal investigators.
In a highly unusual move, the feds have subpoenaed the work of a private photographer hired to take shots at the recent reception of Anthony Staino, the reputed number-two man in the South Philadelphia mob, according to law enforcement sources.
Staino, 55, and his wife celebrated their marriage with an expensive gathering at the Curtis Center in Philadelphia in September. The couple, who live in Woolwich Township, Gloucester County, were wed earlier, but marked the occasion with the Sept. 11 affair.
Ligambi, 71, and several other reputed mob members and associates were among about 300 family members and friends who attended. Another special guest was the groom's 78-year-old uncle, legendary South Philadelphia mobster Ralph "Junior" Staino.
Both the Philadelphia Police Department and FBI had surveillance teams outside, taking pictures of guests as they arrived, according to a police officer who worked that day.
Delaware's state Democratic Party is claiming that supporters of Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell are creating problems at some polling locations in the state.
This, as the campaign of Democrat Chris Coons e-mails supporters expressing concerns over turnout levels in the Democratic bastion of New Castle County.
In an e-mail to supporters early Tuesday afternoon, Coons campaign manager Christy Gleason wrote that the campaign was observing "lower turnout in New Castle and Kent counties than we’re comfortable with."
Dick Morris was just on Hannity. He thinks it's turning into an ass kicking. Dems aren't turning out like they need. He's talking taking the Senate too.
Mr Awlaki, believed to be hiding in Yemen's mountains, has publicly called for more attacks on the US. The Guardian reported that a gifted student convicted yesterday of attempting to stab to death a former British government minister was ins-pired by his internet sermons.
A US official said that the addresses on the packages in the foiled attacks last week were outdated addresses for Jewish institutions in Chicago. The addresses are one reason that investigators now believe the plan may have been to blow up the aircraft, since there were no longer synagogues at the Chicago locations.
US counter-terrorism officials said they were taking a new look at the crash of a United Parcel Service cargo plane in Dubai on September 3 in light of the explosives plot. An initial investigation of that crash and on-board fire, in which two pilots died, found there was no evidence of an explosion.
The southern part of Arizona has most of the state's largest ethnic majority, a Hispanic and Latino population estimated at 1,295,617 in 2000, or 25.3% of the total population (up from the 1990 figure of 668,000, or 18% of the population). There are some old, long-settled Spanish villages, but the bulk of Hispanics (1,065,578) are of Mexican origin. Raul Castro, a Mexican-American, served as governor in 1975–77. There were an estimated 158,873 blacks as of 2000. Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, and other Asians made up 1.8% of the population.
The semi-longshots aren't coming through. Reid might pull it out. Good night for the GOP, they take the house. No way it looks like the Senate. Probably for the best.
When those unions get geared up they're awfully hard to beat.
A lot of those Republican/Tea Party "can't wait to vote" poll respondents found something else to do.
Rove was wrong to trash O'Donnell after she had already won the nomination, but the fact is, you don't want to nominate amateurs in Senate races. The learning curve is too tough.
Great thing for Republicans in Pa winning Governorship. in re-districting .
They will attach lower Montgomery, which used to be reliably Republican, to Philadelphia. It has turned heavily Jewish , very liberal and predictably Democratic.
Dem. Kanjorski outed in PA. He was there a long time, quite a reasonable guy actually.
Laura Ingraham just said Sestak had a really good ad tying Toomey to "Free Trade with China." Managed to put him in a bad light with the "jobs to China" meme.
People aren't stupid. You can only pee down their neck so long.
Pennsylvania's 6th District, which includes parts of Berks, Chester, Lehigh, and Montgomery counties.
Republican Jim Gerlach looks like he just made a fifth term in the House. When the Republicans trim off the lower part of Montgomery and attach it to Phila., it will be a safe Republican district again.
South Idaho is Mountain Time, so down some results are coming in, and there Labrador is way ahead of Minnick. Polls just closed here. It will hold. Looks like I called one.
The first little returns from Nevada that I heard had the group at the Venetian whooping, so Angle was off to a start.
Deceased candidate, Democrat Jenny Oropeza is still holding strong, early ballot data shows that she has nearly a 7 percentage point lead over Republican candidate John Stammreich.
Despite the death of 53-year-old incumbent Oropeza, she still has a likely chance to win the race for State Senate in the 28th district. Because her death on Oct. 20 was within 10 days of the election, her name remains on the ballot.
A week after her death, Democrats sent out mailers to residents, calling for voters to still reelect Oropeza. The mailers featured Secretary of State Debra Bowen and Democratic Party general counsel Martha Escutia.
My brother and sister live there. Haven't been there in years.
Willie Brown of Bay Area fame, perennial politician, said Palin did exactly the right thing in getting out of Alaska, if she wants to go higher, which she does, bless her heart.
UPDATE: 11:17 - The news teams are flailing for an explanation, but it appears that the Boulder County Clerk mistakenly put votes for Bennet in Buck's column. Now they've corrected it. This will certainly mean that the results of this race will be in a legal quagmire for some time. Buck and Bennet at 48% and 47%, respectively.

A week after her death, Democrats sent out mailers to residents, calling for voters to still reelect Oropeza. The mailers featured Secretary of State Debra Bowen and Democratic Party general counsel Martha Escutia.
I want Reid out but I understand your point of view.

ReplyDeleteTea Party won 35 and lost 54, but they came from nowhere and woke the Republicans up and cost them the Senate.
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans can use their strong minority status in the Senate more effectively than if they had a razor thin majority.
Republican takes Obama's seat in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteToomey takes it!
ReplyDeleteThat calls for a Rolling Rock or a Yeungling.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. The Dead people voted, and elected a Dead representative. :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love Dems.
Kasich takes Ohio.
ReplyDeleteSweet.
I like Joe Trippi. "The great thing about a democracy is one of the morons gets to win." :)
ReplyDeleteReid - +7%
ReplyDeleteAnd Arlen Specter is gone.
ReplyDeleteReal Clear Politics has Reid declared winning. By a good margin too.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard anything about Washington state.
Actually they have Murray up 51 to 49 for Rossi with 66% reporting.
ReplyDeleteSo, The pubs take Alaska (either Murkowski, or Miller;) that gives them 47. What's left?
ReplyDeleteCo. Buck was behind the last I saw.
Wa. Hard to see Rossi winning, now.
That makes it Dems 51 -- Pubs 47 -- Independents 2 (both caucus with the Dems)
Reid winning will payoff in 2012 for the Republicans and you have to laugh, California elects Gerry Brown.
ReplyDeleteThe illegals will have put Harry over the top.
It's the last roundup for Rossi. He's out of politics.
ReplyDeleteMoonbeam is at least honest.
ReplyDeleteHe's famous for saying "All politicians lie."
Marijuana initiative goes down in California.
hmmm, Buck might pull it out. He's up 3
ReplyDeleteHell, he's famous for saying,
ReplyDelete"I Lied." "through my teeth, sweethear." "What'cha going to do about it?"
I hope Miller wins in Alaska. He's a very accomplished guy.
ReplyDeleteI think he will too.
California's a trip.
ReplyDeleteMy brother and sister live there. Haven't been there in years.
ReplyDeleteWillie Brown of Bay Area fame, perennial politician, said Palin did exactly the right thing in getting out of Alaska, if she wants to go higher, which she does, bless her heart.
Buck up 3 with over 60% reporting. He may well win alright.
ReplyDelete"Write-in" is winning in Ak.
ReplyDeleteFreakin' amazing.
Buck up 3 with 74% reporting.
ReplyDeleteHe is winning.
God bless the 2 yr. election cycle.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: 11:17 - The news teams are flailing for an explanation, but it appears that the Boulder County Clerk mistakenly put votes for Bennet in Buck's column. Now they've corrected it. This will certainly mean that the results of this race will be in a legal quagmire for some time. Buck and Bennet at 48% and 47%, respectively.
ReplyDeletejeez
ReplyDeleteAlaska McAdams 25% Miller 34% Write-In 40%
ReplyDeleteI'm trashed. Good night.
ReplyDeleteWe gotta get together, and do it again, in say, 2012. :)
So am I. Not staying up for the returns from North's Ass, Alaska.
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteFox hasn't had very good analysis, tonight.
It all sucked.
CNBC was a laugh riot.
Fox had Palin and Rove. Couldn't watch that.
NBC was mediocre.
ABC had Diane Sawyer. Good lord.
Even Bloomberg. Neil Cavuto is talking to some guy about how Obama will react the the results and he likens it to Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam.
Am I being too critical here?
