Surrogates for presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain outlined similar programs to diversify America's energy portfolio to include alternative energy sources on Wednesday at the T.C. Williams School of Law.
While none of the presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, delivered the KO, the first Presidential Debate did sharpen the contrast between the two and gave Obama an edge on not just the economy, but also foreign policy and national security -- considered by many to be John McCain's strong points.
While Senator McCain made it clear that he wasn't winning any awards for "Mr. Congeniality", and he may need a new hire to pick out his ties, when the debate moved to foreign policy 45 minutes in, things finally got interesting. Initially the moderator, Lehrer, focused a large amount of time on the economy. Now while I see the merit in doing so, with such a great deal of national attention on the issue - this debate is supposed to be about foreign policy.

The financial crisis, which the Wall Street Journal described today as the worst economic hit since the early 1930s, is beginning to drastically change the tide of presidential campaigns.
This morning on ABC's "Good Morning America," Sen. Joe Biden confidently asserted that the wealthiest Americans need to pay more taxes, and not only that, but that doing so is PATRIOTIC. They already shoulder a significant portion of the nation's tax burden, yet Obama and company are demanding more. Why do they plan to introduce more capital gains taxes, windfall profit taxes, and many others? Well, quite simply, to redistribute the wealth.
