There's a woman named Pat Dando who used to run the San Jose Chamber of Commerce. A few years ago the Chamber got into quite a bit of hot water for mailing out some postcards during a local election..."conflict of interest" stuff.
Anyway, I was at a joint networking event with the San Jose, Sunnyvale and Mountain View Chambers. We all PAID to be there. It was at a big hotel in San Jose, in the open courtyard area. Dando stepped up to the microphone and there were several hundred people doing what they'd paid to do...network. She yelled into the microphone "SHUT UP."
I was immediately pissed off and offended, as were a number of people there. But that's Pat Dando's style. She's a Meg Whitman / Carly Fiorina, but she doesn't even PRETEND to be charming (she resigned in December 2010).
I saw Ann Romney tonight and IMMEDIATELY thought of Pat Dando.
