>>>>>As it stands now 'financial policy' is a competition in spending. One guy asks for $700B and many others say: No! It does not protect US taxpayers in adequate way. We should spend $800B and it will be much better (probably for taxpayers). I think that Obama experience fits nicely to this picture.

>>>Frankly, I still hope that one of candidates (e.g. VP candidate) finds some guts to call this 'bailout' and/or 'stabilization measure' the way it really is: blackmail and selling out whatever left from free market (and undermining freedom, in general) to prop up couple WS names and spending couple hundred billions on the way, so elected representatives from both parties could feel better.

>>I agree. Palin is the only one who might have the guts to do it. I wish McCain would, but I think he is still hoping for bipartisan support in the election.

>You may be onto something. If you've got the worst U.S. financial crisis in 8 decades giving off new explosions on an almost daily basis, and even our leading financial / economic experts saying they don't know which end is up, who better to fix things than Sarah Palin? She must have faced something similar as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (pop. 7000, budget $2 million).

I guess the fact that OBama voted 'present' in so many senate votes is experience Palin doesn't have.
