The optimist would say "a hundred million down." The pessimist would add, "...and about 235 million to go."

We're guessing Mitt Romney won't be hanging out with Cee Lo, Leo or the Bieber anytime soon. Or Fisker spokesman Roger Ormisher, for that matter.

Report: 'King of Lemon Laws' lawyer successful with Fisker Karma in Wisconsin [w/video] 1348677900

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan might have supported full disbursement of the U.S. Energy Department's planned $529 million loan to extended-range plug-in vehicle maker Fisker Automotive.

Paparazzi crash while chasing Justin Bieber's chrome Fisker Karma 1346856300
It makes a lot of sense for Fisker Automotive to hook up with Hollywood celebrities like Justin Bieber and Leonardo DiCaprio to promote its expensive, slick, and environmentally conscious Karma plug-in hybrid sports car.
