Obama OK

The endorsements swung me his way: John Kerry, Robert Reich, Ted Kennedy, Hulk Hogan. An impressive list for sure.

Edwards is out

I'm bummed. He was the most liberal of the three Dems.
I don't have a preference between Clinton and Obama. Both are pretty moderate. I can see the huge differences in the resumes and styles, I just don't really care about that stuff. Maybe I'll participate in Super Tuesday - maybe not.

John McCain - Mr. Honesty

"I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." - John McCain, November 2007 Wall Street Journal.

I think Sen McCain is cruising for the nomination. Given the state of our economy, the ignorance of the current President, and my fascination with economic policy - I hope this guy loses. Economic education should have been a priority for Sen McCain a long long time ago.

Stimulate my economy, please

I don't know what our President will propose today, but of the stuff I've heard tossed about I do know what would do me the most good. $1,600 US Treasury cash into my family's hands and increases to Unemployment Insurance benefits would stimulate me. Neither of these things is going to induce me to buy stocks or a home, but it will make me feel marginally more comfortable in my checking account.
