Academic Economists speak on McCain and Obama

This article from The Economist is pretty interesting. [Incidentally, one of McCain's economic advisors will have to introduce Sarah Palin to The Economist.]
A survey of academic economists by The Economist finds the majority—at times by overwhelming margins—believe Mr Obama has the superior economic plan, a firmer grasp of economics and will appoint better economic advisers.
This is true even for those who identify themselves as Republicans or neither Republicans or Democrats.

Come on now, Ilsa. You have to add Talking Points Memo to my list. I think I get 90% of my information from them.

Actually, I read a whole bunch of blogs. Like Sarah Palin, I'd say I read all of them.
