McCain and Global Warming

McCain in not a Dubya clone when it come to his current views on global warming. He says that the US should adopt mandatory curbs on greenhouse emissions, and spur technological innovation in the field.

“The facts of global warming demand our urgent attention, especially in Washington,” he said, speaking at a Portland training facility for Vestas Wind Technology. …



The Dead Can’t Vote?

Good question! We were wondering about poor Florence Steen’s quest for on absentee ballot for the SD June 3 primary to cast her vote for Hillary. Will it count?

Slate’s Explainer has the answer:

No. As dictated by a 2001 state law, the South Dakota Department of Health is responsible for furnishing the county auditors with a list of …



Our Good Friend, Ron Paul

Where has he been? Certainly not dropping out of the race. Much like a Republican version of Hillary Clinton (albeit with much less of a chance) Ron Paul is refusing to drop out of the race, despite the near impossible odds of winning. He is trudging towards the Republic Convention, and without being offered a chance to speak it seems …



Who Will Be VP?

Now that Obama has more or less clinched the Democratic nomination, speculation on who he will choose as a running mate is rampant. One of the best articles that we’ve found is this one from the McClatchy Washington Bureau. In fact, this article does such a good job speculating on the possible choice, that we have nothing to add …



Hillary’s Ship Is Sinking

So says Chadwick Matlin of Slate. He sees her now with a 2.5% chance to win.

Start with George McGovern pulling his support of Hillary. McGovern says she waged a valiant campaign, but now is the time for her to say good-bye.

She loaned herself $6.4 million last month and apparently the dollars haven’t been rolling in after her …



Gas Tax “Vacation” is Absurd

As Jeff Miller on A Dash of Insight notes, Hillary and McCain are in favor of a plan that would make gas taxes go away for a while - just to help out the little people. How nice of them. Right? Not really.

Barack Obama along with every reachable economic authority on the vast expanse of the internet disagree. All …



Potential Flaw in McCain’s Healthcare

A major problem with the Republican view that healthcare can be provided through the dropping of current plans to shop for new ones is that most insurance providers try not to offer coverage to those with pre-existing conditions.

He claims that by working closer with individual states with a “Guaranteed Access Plan” people with pre-existing conditions would be able to find …



Electionomics

Well before we get started, a major tip of the hat is in order to UBS for their great reports, Obamanomics and McCainomics. These reports are both great and in depth, we will barely scratch the surface of them so we would strongly recommend that you find a copy of them yourselves. Now with that out of the way, on …



Update on McCain and Defense

Recently Senator McCain has gone in depth on some foreign policy issues and analysts bored with the horse race between Hillary and Obama are beginning to give some of his positions a lot of scrutiny. It seems as good a time as ever to update our old records of McCain’s relations to the market’s defense sector.

Overblown or not, the …



What’s On Your Walls?

OK, you’ve won the White House. David Shribman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette got a chance to talk with both Dem candidates, and one of the things he asked was which portraits each would choose to redecorate.

Both took Abe (Obama noted that he was from IL and didn’t have much experience)

Clinton also took Washington, Teddy Roosevelt (also in McCain’s …
