#1 Better to have someone who admits he's clueless than a apparatchik ~~Marxist~~ socialist when dealing with the economy. With clueless you can get Laissez-faire consequences. Hell, even the Chinese have figured out that Marxism isn't a functional economic model.

#2 have someone who admits he's clueless

The world would be a better place if 90% of economy profs admitted the same.

#3 I got in the car last night and heard an interview with Dennis Kucinich. I had left the radio on NPR as I was listening to some local music. I learned that the Bush administration policies have destroyed our economy. I missed that somehow.

#4 But, against a backdrop of job losses and deteriorating home values, Wall Street is backing McCain's Democratic rival, Barack Obama with cold, hard cash.

Who on Wall Street is backing BO? Someone expecting a bailout? The country can't tax itself out of energy problems. Obama would increase taxes which would put the brakes on an economy that is already having troubles.

Dennis Kucinich is a real moon bat. He has done a lot for the Ohio rust belt.

#5 It rather makes the point that the people are wisely choosing someone who knows little and won't interfere, rather than someone who (falsely) claims to understand and will harm the economy.

#6 Who on Wall Street is backing BO?

Soros and a couple other hedge fund owners who benefit from economic instability.
