Political Map Changing with Economy

October 5, 2008

Here is a great graphic that show the current leanings and “commitments”. It does appear that the Obama/Biden duo has the edge… Is that reflected in the market ?

    Looks like the Gun and Bible states are leaning to McCain/Palin. And them sissy states are leanin’ to Obama.

    Message to Palin… When giving us “straight talk”, at least talk to us straight. i.e. The current economic condition is not just “Wall Street” greed. It is also Main Street’s financial irresponsibility.

    Message to the “Maverick”‘ – Vote your “tough on pork” stance ( i.e. 800B financial pork roast). Rather just right wing tough talk, and politician flipflop. I guess there is no political power in blasting your fellow congressmen, unless they are running against you.

    Message to Obama – Name your priorities as tier 1, 2, and 3. With the current financial condition, you can’t fund it all. Quit being such a politician, and become more of a problem solver. Also, don’t be a Robin in the Hood, praise those who are successful too. Tell us how you feel reducing taxes on the middle class will actually benefit the wealthy, because it does.

    Message to Biden – Admit that you said,Obama “was not fit to be President”. Then tell us what you found since getting to know him better.
