I read through an analysis of the Obama campaign’s economics plan by a UBS Investment Research team earlier today.
Interestingly enough, they made a link between Obama’s “Fix Our Health Care Crisis” plan and potential profits for large corporations. The idea, in general, would be that smaller businesses would have an especially hard time competing against […]

Giuliani goes for all those Fl delegates. Good move.
Can’t they just hire professonals to do this? Candidates are reaching out to supporters for campaign ads. Crap shoot?
Workers unite! IAFF supports Chris Dodd. That would be the Fire Fighters Union.
McCain does Jay Leno show. Better or worse than Jon Daley?
Hillary […]

No, all those things in the title aren’t related. They were just all covered in a Washington Post article, actually 4 articles in the A Section. It’s a good summary of what’s going on in politics today.

As everyone has probably heard (we even linked to an article in our Link Sandwich 7/31) Fred Thompson […]

Bob Dole assessed a few of the Republican Candidates in this piece by the LA Times Top of the Ticket.

Last night, PBS presented, from historically black Howard University, a debate among eight Democratic condenders.
Subjects ranged from the education systen to HIV to Darfur. Clinton and Obama were the stars.
Two most market unfriendly comments were made by Kucinich, who wanted to do away with NAFTA, and Edwards, who wanted to tax […]

Women outnumber and outvote men. Candidates know the importance of their support.
Each must craft a persuasive message on “women’s issues” (that would be education and healthcare for starters), and are creating special groups to attract women to their camps. Women for Guiliani, Women for Hillary, Women for Richardson, Women for Romney, you get […]

The Iowa Caucus official website has placed a significant amount of attention on healthcare. Therefore, the 2008 candidates are going to need to put a real emphasis on the issue themselves in order to win votes of the citizens there.
Iowa claims to be the “6th most livable state,” “7th healthiest state,” and the “8th safest […]

Splendid news for healthcare technology stocks if Newt Gingrich finds his way into the Oval Office in the 2008 election. In this article by cio.com, he suggests the increased use of technology by doctors and medical insurance companies.

Also, […]
