Thank you for the links! I'm already registered at and checking out the first one (yay for free trials!) and following up the others shortly. I don't mind reading conservative or liberal opinions, I just like to know the person's operating philosophy so I can know the context.

A lot of the economic analysis I've seen of Republican vs. Democratic Admin -- and I'll be the first to admit I've been a surface skimmer -- indicates that Democrats in general are better for the economy. Luckily, this year's really easy to judge as McCain likes our current model so much he'd like to put it on steroids. Short of shutting down the Treasury and reverting to a barter system, I'm hard pressed to think what a government could do worse in handling the economy.

Not that I think huge tax cuts for anyone is a good idea at this time. After effectively doubling this year's deficit, I'm really antsy about any plan that promises to cut revenue and raise expenditures.
