Today’s New York Daily News has an interesting article about Obama’s foreign policy. In particular, it discusses how Obama has refused to factor in the fact that the Surge is working into his 16-month plan for withdrawal. This seems interesting considering that Obama has received enormous criticism for his recent “flip-flopping” or as we like [...]

We are going to look at this from two aspects. First from a purely economic point of view and then from a more pragmatic view. But before we jump into that, let’s quickly go over how the candidates feel. Obama, along with most Democrats, is wholly opposed to lifting the drilling ban. McCain recently flipped [...]

Since the last time we wrote about Fannie and Freddie, quite a bit has happened. Last time we wrote about how Fannie and Freddie might help the mortgage crisis, this time we are writing about how they are causing a crisis of their own. First off we must understand the position that Fannie and Freddie [...]

The way things are going, it seems like we might have to wait until September to see a debate. Despite Obama claiming that he would debate McCain “anytime, anywhere” we still haven’t seen a single debate planned until the major September 18 debate at the Morial Convention Center. It seems strange that the first debate [...]

McCain jumps through a lot of hoops to appear different from the current Republican president, but his terrible judgment regarding the G-8 takes it much too far. His actual choice would be to exclude Russia from the G-8 because lately their government has been centralized through less than democratic means. This begs several questions. First [...]

After months and months of waiting, McCain has finally released a detailed economic plan. Unfortunately, it’s about as disappointing as Spiderman 3. The AngryBear’s post on this topic was really just a recommendation for the EconomistMom’s post. In fact, EconomistMom does such a good job explaining the topic, that we were hard pressed to find [...]

This article in Real Clear Politics identifies the moral struggles of working class people: i.e., they adhere to a strict ethical code when faced with economic hardship. In general, Latin American people, governments, and leaders are leaning right on the political spectrum (especially when you consider their prominent Catholicism). Therefore, in Southwestern USA, one would [...]

There’s nothing like a bad economy to cause the average voter to take an interest in the economy. In fact, a recent poll shows that the economy has surpassed the war in Iraq as the most important issue to American voters. But what does that mean for our candidates? The article that we linked to [...]

I, personally, have noticed a lot of tension lately in the online community. It seems people are anxious or somewhat disillusioned with how Obama has been running his campaign since the primaries ended. We at Election Stocks have been anticipating as well as covering this for some time now (albeit we mostly deal with his [...]

Recently it seems like infrastructure has been thrust into the spotlight, with roads in disrepair and inadequate levees leading to terrible flooding. The Angry Bear blog commented on this phenomenon the other day. They mentioned some of the key politicians who are pushing the issue, and also mentioned a nice definition of infrastructure from Mostly [...]
