Romney picks up another Thompson advisor

Well, it would seem (just from my gut feeling) that Romney is winning the Thompson-o-rama...here is a post by Jonathan Martin at Politico about the latest 'get'.

Romney's numbers have been rising on the RealClearPolitics poll average...I'm guessing Thompson getting out is definitely helping him. We'll see if it's enough on tuesday.

And now for something completely different...
Today is primary day in SC for the Dems. Time to see what the impact of the hate-fest will be as we go down the road. Interesting that at the beginning of the debate process we were talking about how friendly the Democrats were and how divisive the Republicans were. It would seem they are both returning to form, Republicans coming together and Democrats eating their own for no good reason.

U.S. Tax Rates Compared to the rest of the world–a.k.a “U.S. Corporations are not the evil empire”

Below is a graph showing our tax rates compared to the rest of the industrialized world (taken from Wikipedia): Two things to note: Our personal income taxes are not as bad as some anti-tax zealots would have you believe…they are lower than most. Our corporate rates, however, are horrific.  They are higher than any other industrialized country save Japan. Lesson to be learned:  it’s easy for politicians to sell lower taxes for individuals.  Much harder to sell lower rates for corporations.  And very easy for liberals to paint corporations as getting off easy (the “big, bad conglomerate” schtick).  However, it’s just not true.  “Facts are stubborn things.”  - John Adams

Negative ads

Questioner mentioned Gordon Smith's offer to stop negative ads on both sides. Merkley - "I don't have negative ads, I have ISSUE ads." Audience laughed - I don't think Merkley was trying to be funny. Bad moment for Merkley.

McCain...will put an end to greed?

In a sweeping statement reminicent of some of the things Barack Obama has said, Senator McCain said today at a townhall meeting: "We're going to reform how Wall Street does business and put an end to the greed that has driven our markets into chaos." My take: Whoa. Put an end to greed? While he's at it, why doesn't he end pride, envy and covetousness? I know he probably didn't mean what he said...but still...not the best use of the language I've ever seen.
