Nothing Like A Bad Economy

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 above […]

Fastest Train In The World

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 […]

McCain: eBay Economy

Recently McCain has been praising eBay as a tool for creating jobs. Apparently, he believes that eBay proves the ability of Americans to compete in a global economy without excessive tax or tariffs (essentially the base of Republican economic policy). The talk of eBay should end there, but McCain takes it further and instead of […]

Recently McCain and Hillary stunned many in the field of economists by defying all of their detailed and unanimous advice and embracing the ridiculous gas tax vacation plan. Barack Obama used this issue to prove himself well versed in economics and prepared to accept advice when it came along.

The Future of Ron Paul

Yesterday, Ron Paul said that he had a major announcement to make later that night. And indeed it was a major one, as he announced that he was ending his presidential campaign last night. Just today however, Ron Paul posted a thank you to all his supporters on his website. And this thank you makes […]

Obama Inches Towards the Center

As we have predicted at Election Stocks for some time and Kudlow predicted two nights ago on his show, Barack Obama is indeed depolarizing for a wider appeal during the General Election.

The McCain supporters focused on McCain’s pro-growth tax cuts and attacked what they called protectionism from Obama; while the Obama supporters attempted to show Obama’s policies moving towards the middle while attempting to portray McCain’s policies as impossible.
The main points that were brought up […]

CNBC Covers 2008 Economic Issues

In a video from this morning, CNBC brought together Senior Economic Advisors for both the Obama and McCain campaigns. Here they “drew the economic battle lines” for the 2008 election season. We at Election Stocks were particularly interested with what they said about the Capital Gains Tax.
Our Capital Gains Tax, now at 15%, would be […]

Vice Presidential Choices

Although many believe a VP should be selected with great consideration to how they may behave in the fall election, vice presidents hardly ever swing key states or have a huge impact in the general election. What is more important is how effectively they can help to manage the administration to keep the American people […]

Bob Barr and the 2008 Election

Bob Barr recently announced his bid for Libertarian party candidate in the 2008. Despite the efforts of former senator Mike Gravel, Barr looks as if he will be the the nominee.
In 2004, Ralph Nader was said to have taken the election away from John Kerry and handed it to George W. Bush. Ross Perot won […]
