We heard an article on NPR’s All Things Considered the other day about campaign ads competing with retail advertisers for airtime on Christmas Specials this year.
Super Duper Tuesday is 2 days after the Super Bowl. Will any candidates spend the big bucks??? I doubt if it will be Ron Paul.
Ron Paul’s […]

Trust Chris Cillizza from The Fix to cut through the spaghetti regarding Ron Paul’s significant cash infusion ($4.2 Million) the other day.
He seems to be a player, but will it translate to votes?
Paul now has the cash for some tv ads. His message certainly fits in (Live Free or Die) NH, but […]

Dr. Ron Paul, the so-called “fringe candidate” by many of the so-called “political pundits,” reported 3rd quarter political contributions in the amount of $5.1 million. Not bad. This would be about McCain territory, and 5X Huckabee territory.
“It’s really fascinating,” Paul said, seeming as surprised with the news as was much of the […]

Join the forum discussion on this postI think it’s great that the man with two first names has so much internet support, it’s really exciting to see a contemporary grassroots movement. But it seems to me like there are some places where advocacy of this guy might not be entirely advantageous.

Today Yahoo! News had an article about the decreasing trade deficit. While you might think that this is a good thing, many people are still critical about Bush’s policies. Naturally we decided to do some research about the 2008 candidates positions and ideas on free trade. As usual we’ll take a look at the poll […]

2) Can they use the issue to distinguish themselves to win the nomination?
Ron Paul […]

We were going around on YouTube, and we found quite the interesting video. Apparently, Ron Paul has Ronald Reagan’s endorsement.
Wow, does Obama’s fundraiser with Oprah sound insane or what?
Edwards has cut off his investments with lenders.
Giulani has agreed to discuss his family under his terms.
Mike Huckabee is quite the strange combination of things, but he […]

At the start of campaign 2008 the idea that monetary policy would be part of the debate was quite a long shot. Despite Ron Paul’s talk about the dollar, inflation and the need for the gold standard, this topic was not likely to be embraced by debate questioners or other candidates.
We like to look […]

At Election Stocks we do not advocate or endorse particular candidates. We are delighted to get reader comments, particularly in our Candidate Portfolio Forum, because our ultimate mission is to figure out what stocks will gain or lose as a particular candidate’s prospects improve.
We took special note of the Ron Paul interview on CNBC […]
