Larry Halverson: I've Been Thinking

And then, apart from what I’ll do, is what we’ll do – we the citizens of the great U. S. of A – under the new leadership headed for Washington in a couple of years. I just saw the latest Rasmussen Reports™, one of the better polling sources out there. If the primaries took place this week, here’s very close to what we’d get:

Republicans – Giuliani 33%, McCain 19%, Gingrich 13%
Democrats – Clinton 28%, Obama 24%, Edwards 11%

It also found that, if the actual election were held this week between Clinton and Gingrich, it would be about 50% to 43% in favor of Clinton. If between Gore and Gingrich, Gore would win 51% to 40%.

Both within the Republican Party and between the two parties, the sweep to the left appears to be proceeding unabated. Living in retirement could be quite a bit different a decade from now, as could investing for retirement. Makes these difficult undertakings even more so. But, we all love a challenge, right?
