South Carolina

The Democratic nomination process continues to be exciting to watch as we saw Obama trounced Hillary by a huge margin in South Carolina. Without doubt, Obama and Hillary will fight it out for a long while to come. Each side have their merits but I have to admit to being more moved by Obama than …

Federal Reserve Slashes Rate by an Amazing .75 percent

Bernanke

I continue to think we are living through history in the making.  I think it is amazing that Bernanke and the Federal Reserve decided to surprise the world with their unannounced .75 percent rate cut.  From what I know, this has not happened since 1994 when the last big boom occurred. This rate cut is …

Aftermath of the Republican Michigan Primary

Michigan Primary

Another wow. I cannot believe Romney beat McCain by such a big margin in the Republican Michigan Primary. Like it or not, I guess the game is still on. Huckabee, McCain, and Romney are still full on.

My Choices for the 2008 Iowa Caucuses

Iowa Caucus

If I was in Iowa (which I am obviously not), these are the ways I would go. In the Republican camp, it is a no-brainer. I would have to go with John McCain. Both Huckabee and Romney are out. If they were to win, I will sooner choose a Democratic candidate than Huckabee and Romney. …

Pondering the 2008 Presidential Candidates – Democrats

Democrat symbol

Continuing my previous post on “Pondering the 2008 Presidential Candidates – Republicans”, I now focus on my take on the Democratic candidates. As I said in the last post, my inclination towards Republican views are a bit on shaky grounds based on my growing social and environmental concerns. In many ways, I wish there is …
