WashPost,Nov.25,2007: The Next Clintonomics

Clinton's economic positions matter because, we are heading into a period when "it is the economy,stupid," all over again. The FED warns that the US economy is heading into a downturn, which could become a full-blown recesson" This is what I sent my blogs months ago. With the economy on a downward trajectory, this is the wild card in the 2008 presidential race. Despite some straddles and a fondness for multisyllabic solutions, Clinton right now seems the candidate well positioned to take advantage of the pocketbook issue. I am inclined to endorse such tendentious happenstance but we must wait until November 2008 to see the reality as empirical evidence. Francis Shieh aka Xie Shihao. Nov.25, 2007 at 8 p.m.
