The presidential choice through a taxation prism

Source : washington post

So if your family makes less than $111,645 then Obama gives you the bigger break. If you make more, McCain's got your back. Only families making more than $603,403 will pay more under either candidate.

With the country approaching $10 trillion in dept, only Obama has a plan that directly increases revenues. To do a full analysis would require factoring proposed plans from both candidates on spending and anticipated economic growth.

It is interesting that the McCain camp makes a blanket statement that Obama will increase *your* taxes. Who is McCain speaking to? Only the families that make more than $600k? Denial of the clear analysis of the public tax plans seems to play right into Obama's argument that McCain "doesn't get it", and that McCain actually believes his supposed joke that the middle class are families making under $5 million.

Obama to clinch the Democratic Nomination

Delivered by a slew of superdelegate declarations ahead of the S. Dakota and Montana primaries, Obama will surely claim the title of the 2008 Democratic Primary Winner tonight.

MI and FL reinstated representation at 50%

The DNC (Democratic National Committee) just voted to seat all of the Florida and Michigan delegates at the convention, but to only provide them 1/2 a vote each.  This improves upon the original disenfranchising of these states' votes as punishment for moving their primaries forward in violation of the parties rules.  The debate on the topic was heated, but the final resolution was a consistent ruling for both states involved and preserved some form of punishment for violating the original rules.  The big losers in all this are the actual voters who have witnessed the gross stratification of power between common folk and super-delegates.

Iraq is his Viagra

A hilarious interview with Huffington on the Cobert Report included some disturbingly possible commentary on John McCain including:

"He will be the oldest president ever elected ... Because he has such a passion for Iraq, that is his Viagra" said Huffington.

"The warning on that should be: if your erection lasts more than a hundred years, pull out." was Colbert's quick retort.

Obama fully denounces Wright

Obama fully distances himself from a 3 day press blitz by Former Pastor Reverend Wright. Obama made clear his outrage and disappointment in Wright, and reiterated that they in no way share views.
