I have to get up early tomorrow to catch a plane, so I don't know if
I can see this thing through tonight. Early results.
* McCain won enough delegates
tonight (1,191) to sew up the Republican nomination. TX, OH, RI, and
VT. Huckabee will drop out. Bush will endorse McCain.
* Obama wins VT. He's up 59-39 with 50% reporting.
* CNN projects Clinton as the winner in RI. Current results are 53-46 with 9% reporting.
* CNN
has Obama up big in TX - 57 to 43. Nobody trusts exit polls
anymore, but apparently the polls included early/absentee vote
totals. But Clinton inches closer as more number come out, though
she has a long way to go. Texas primary/caucus - that's right,
primaries and caucuses all rolled into one - confound virtually
everyone.
* OH early vote totals have Clinton up big, 59-39 with 10% reporting. She's held strong there.

The following article appeared on the online site for Manufacturing & Technology News on November 17, 2008 and was written by Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.
By most accounts the U.S. economy is in serious trouble. Robert Reich, an adviser to President-elect Obama, calls it a "mini-depression," but that designation might be optimistic. Russian economist Mikhail Khazin says that the "U.S. will soon face a second Great Depression." It is possible that even Khazin is optimistic.
I cannot predict the future. However, I can explain what the problems are, how they differ from past times of troubles and why traditional remedies, such as the public works programs that Reich proposes, are unlikely to succeed in reviving the U.S. economy. |
