 <p align="left"> An InsiderAdvantage statewide telephone survey of 300 adults 
  conducted January 5-7 weighted for age, race, gender, and political affiliation 
  indicates a widespread belief that the $200 million plus compensation package 
  to be paid to departing Home Depot CEO Robert &quot;Bob&quot; Nardelli is excessive.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Q. What is your opinion of the compensation paid to departing 
  Home depot CEO Robert &quot;Bob&quot; Nardelli?</strong><br>
  Believe it's excessive: 79%<br>
  Believe it's not excessive: 9%<br>
  Don't Know/Undecided: 12%</p>
<p align="left">Analysis: The most amazing part of this survey is that most Georgians 
  have formed an opinion. The opinion that Nardelli's compensation package is 
  excessive is high among every demographic group and among both Republicans and 
  Democrats. Clearly Home Depot's board has a major task ahead of itself in &quot;remodeling&quot; 
  the company's image with the public.<br>
