Economist looks at John McCain

The Economist thinks McCain is worth a second look.

[McCain] has also been right about some big issues. He was the first senior Republican to criticise George Bush for invading Iraq with too few troops, and the first to call for Donald Rumsfeld's sacking. He is one of the few Republicans to propose sensible policies on immigration and global warming.

I like that McCain is not campaigning in Iowa due to its absurd ethanol addiction (see Ethanol cure worse than oil disease and More bad news about ethanol)

DISCLAIMER: I am endorsing McCain for President.

  1. Luke,

    During the next couple of months can you create some posts on each of the candidates from an economic perspective?

    I am not endorsing anyone (yet), but McCain's stands on taxes, regulation, and free speech leave a lot to be desired.

    Plus I believe the immigration proposal he supported in the Senate creates a huge moral hazard issue.
