“Dow surges 410 points” These are words headlining USA Today’s website. Directly under a brief explanation of the article is the question “How is financial stress affecting you?” Just beside this question is a link to “McCain’s Strategy” not Obama’s, but McCain’s- interesting.
"Poll: Wall Street crisis won't affect voter's choice" cites a Gallup Poll that reports the current financial crisis driving more voters to Obama than to McCain. It also reports that six out of ten Americans favor increasing regulation of Wall Street. 72% of Obama's voters favor it and McCain supporters split on the issue 48%-42%. The article also refers to a mocking remark Obama made in reference to McCain's suggestion, "Don't just get rid of one guy. Get rid of this administration. Get rid of the do-nothing approach to our economic problem, and put somebody in there that's going to fight for you."
Another article in the political section really caught my attention; “Next president could dam up money flow to W.Va.” This article discusses the “earmarks” Byrd has assisted WV in acquiring. Both Obama and McCain oppose this funding.
Other stoies include, “Obama challenges McCain on abortion,” and more involving financial issues; “Candidates’ records thin on Wall Street oversight, control” and “McCain, Obama eye Wall Street.”
