I no longer care whether Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John McCain wins the November election. I don’t think any of them is really inspiring or going to make much of a difference in this global economy.

Maybe it will get more interesting when the Obama/Clinton battle is officially over and the McCain vs. Dem. debates occur.

She’s being outspent, outperformed, and outclassed. You’ve got to hand it to Barack Obama and his team - they’ve done an amazing job. It’s not over yet, but if Hillary Clinton doesn’t win the Democrat nomination, I think it’s safe to say she blew it in many ways. Let’s go through some. Read the rest of this entry »
