His Republican opponents were calling him the all-money-and-no-message candidate, and the label was beginning to stick.

Although they may not know it, they are Samir and Michael, who, after the smoke has cleared (literally), join another technology corporation and eagerly jump back into the rut they have temporarily escaped. For those who are willing to look unflinchingly in the mirror, I suggest taking a hint from Gibbons' final career switch to construction work. Although this is admittedly drastic, isn't it too easy to laugh sometimes...
