This is really getting exciting! The poll results have shifted dramatically since this morning. Melissa Francis is still in the lead but Becky Quick is living up to her name, coming up from behind with an amazing speed. (It may be that her stint hosting The Call with Trish Regan this morning helped boost her visibility with those of you who get to your desks too late to catch her on Squawk Box.)
Rebecca Jarvis, who was at the head of the pack just behind Francis this morning, has slipped down to the second tier with Erin Burnett and Trish Regan. Margaret Brennan follows a good distance behind. Maria Bartiromo and Michelle Caruso Carrerra are in the back of the pack.
We’re closing this poll down in one hour or so. Get your votes in now!
And, yes, we realize this is all a bit silly. But it’s a Friday in August. A quarter of our team has already checked out for the beach. The Dow is climbing slowly upward with the lightest volume of the year. It seems like a good time to enjoy ourselves by engaging in timed eating contests, smuggling hits from our flask while no one is looking and polling our readers about the women of CNBC.
The latest results and your chance to vote (if you haven't already) after the jump!
Want To Earn $100,000 The Hard Way, You Dirty Little Bitch? Give Jeffrey Gundlach A Call
As you may have heard, at some point last week, bond manager Jeffrey Gundlach was robbed. Thieves took $10 million worth of stuff from the Doubleline founder's Santa Monica pad, including a couple of paintings, a few watches, some high-priced wine, a 2010 Porsche Carrera 4S, and whatever cash was lying around. While it's unclear if the burglars made away with Gundlach's collection of priceless pornographic films and sexual apparatus; if he was targeted specifically because the thieves knew they could get their hands on the original copy of Dr. Fellatio 16; or if they were tipped off by JG's regular pizza delivery guy, cable repairman, or pool boy, what is clear that Gundlach is pissed, pissed like a man who is no longer in possession of Ass Traffic Volume 2: The Director's Cut. And that's where you come in. Mr Gundlach has reportedly offered a $100,000 reward for the return of his property. $1,000 is also being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those who carried out the raid, according to Santa Monica police. And to the burglars, if you're reading this, Gundlach will see your asses in court (the real kind, unless you want to settle this in Bondage Nookie Court in which case, get in touch with this lawyer).
