The trillion-dollar Paulsen plan is likely to be highly inflationary. The other etf I like is the TIP (inflationary bond fund.) I also like USO and GLD, but only on a pullback.Pleather Mursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128585033868187384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-43478222673168613612008-09-24T18:27:00.000-07:002008-09-24T18:27:00.000-07:00Vote Arugula!Vote Arugula!Akirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928231767634740127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-38845616230689352792008-09-24T18:25:00.000-07:002008-09-24T18:25:00.000-07:00So CA is overtaxed and under-represented?Eruca sat...So CA is overtaxed and under-represented?<BR/><BR/>Eruca sativa (Arugula) party coming up soon in Marin County!waggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13124634989978888426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-55892903791303594962008-09-24T18:18:00.000-07:002008-09-24T18:18:00.000-07:00I don't think there will be race riots.

How that will show up, I do not know, but it will not be good for the country.<BR/><BR/>California regularly elects moderate Republicans to statewide office. And McCain would have had a real chance at California if Bush wasn't so over the top bad.serinitishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683669075670531409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-91194654396325340202008-09-24T17:54:00.000-07:002008-09-24T17:54:00.000-07:00@rob dawg - it blows my mind that the state had go...@rob dawg - it blows my mind that the state had gov wilson for two terms and then slipped into the left coast abyss. I do think it is possible for a GOP candidate to win Cali again in a general election for prez, but it just might have to be a current or former governor of CA. Like one that might balance a budget. Gosh, my allergy meds are making me talk crazy.<BR/><BR/>@serinitis - Pshaw, to say there might be race riots if obama loses is racist! i will report you to the obamacorps immediately.

No foreign country (except possibly Saudi Arabia) want the Republicans to win. There is also a slight possibility of race riots if Republicans win. Obama needs to be ahead by 5% to make up for the Bradley affect. If the race is real close near the election would a highly leveraged bet against the dollar be a good idea?serinitishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683669075670531409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-78906720616354580272008-09-24T17:23:00.000-07:002008-09-24T17:23:00.000-07:00Ron Paul endorsed Chuck Baldwin, candidate of the...Ron Paul endorsed Chuck Baldwin, candidate of the Constitution Party, of whom I know nothing other than what's in his Wiki entry.<BR/><BR/>What a waste of a remarkable campaign.

Grandstanding, useless grandstanding.<BR/><BR/>If the California initiative to allow electoral votes to be awarded to who won that congressional district (like in Maine) had passed: 1. no democrat would win the white house for 20 years or until they moved to the center and 2. california would be a much visited state by the candidates rather than a pitstop to raise money.Son of Brock Landershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263952647741417976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-56793124300455354612008-09-24T16:02:00.000-07:002008-09-24T16:02:00.000-07:00I think Bob Barr is the Lib candidate.I think Bob Barr is the Lib candidate.Pleather Mursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128585033868187384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-31635501874647258952008-09-24T15:59:00.000-07:002008-09-24T15:59:00.000-07:00Well, if any Cali repubs own a second residence in...Well, if any Cali repubs own a second residence in a swing state ... vote early, vote often.
