Yea. I hate to break it to you CJ, but all signs point to the probability that Dan has sailed. The absence from the Money TV spot, an embarrassing appearance by Margrit pitching new products they don't have or sell just like in 2009, zero additional sales distribution points or retailers. A cheesey bumbling effort at store demos so mismanaged that it could only be the product of someone with no experience of doing such and at the end of the day really looked a lot more like a clearance sale than a promotion. Not anything I could see Dan involved with.

That said, I don't think Dan Senters is the spirits God many have made him out to be but compared to margrit he's all they had going. Presented well, obviously knew the business, seemed to understand and communicated the points well. He even seemed to wince a little every time Margrit opens her mouth which I give him great credit and sympathy for. Margrit is just a train wreck and I think you probably face the fact that it's now the Margrit show exclusively. Yup, too bad, but it certainly looks like Dan's gone.
