A Wall Street Rescue That Makes Every Player a Winner | HughHewitt.com | 09.26.08
With the Wall Street rescue talks on the ropes, there is a deal waiting to be done that fixes the Paulson Plan’s problems and gives each key player a win. The key objectives of the rescue are: 1) to restore stability and liquidity to a US financial system currently threatened by the collapse in value [...]
Sin and the Financial Meltdown: Sloth, Not Greed | HughHewitt.com | 09.22.08
Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress need an economics lesson. Greed is not the deadly sin at the root of the current financial crisis. If anything, sloth is. And that means that loading a ton of new regulation on the already highly regulated financial sector will not prevent future crises. Populist Washington holds [...]
Palin v. Obama: Who’s Better Suited for National Security Leadership? | HughHewitt.com | 09.15.08
In the Category 100 hurricane of mainstream media sarcasm, dismissals and denunciations that has blown over the number two spot on the GOP ticket this week, one simple fact remains standing amidst the debris: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is better suited to take responsibility for the national security of the United States than is Illinois [...]
Health care too important to be a partisan issue | Orlando Sentinel | 09.14.08
Ever since Franklin Roosevelt first considered including universal health coverage as part of the Social Security Act of 1935, America has seen five attempts to overhaul our federal health system. All have one thing in common: They ended in failure. With eight weeks to go in the presidential campaign, there are signs that this time [...]
McCain’s Successful Convention: How So and Why | HughHewitt.com | 09.08.08
By last night (Sunday) it had become clear: Despite almost exactly opposite reporting in the mainstream media, the Democrats two weeks ago had their second failed convention in a row. It was the Republican convention that proved a huge success. How so and why? First the “how so.” Politicians live and die by polls. A [...]
Where Does the GOP Go From Here? | Wall Street Journal | 09.04.08
When John McCain accepts the Republican nomination tonight, he will address a party that doubts itself. In the hall and around the nation Republicans are asking, why does every generic ballot show the GOP losing to the Democrats? Is it just the normal public fatigue after eight years in control of the White House and, [...]
McCain’s Challenge: Redefine the Campaign as Inside Change Blame Versus Outsider Reform | U.S. News & World Report | 09.02.08
U.S. News asked speechwriters from past Republican administrations to weigh in with their thoughts on John McCain’s acceptance speech. Clark S. Judge wrote speeches for Ronald Reagan. Republican nominee-to-be John McCain has a chance to redefine the 2008 presidential race on Thursday—if his convention acceptance speech lives up to the standard set so far by [...]
Thursday v. Friday: Set Piece Battle v. War of Maneuver | HughHewitt.com | 09.01.08
Last week the nation witnessed two top-of-their-game presidential campaigns at work, campaigns as stunningly different as they were impressive — different in ways that told a great deal about each candidate. On Thursday night the Obama campaign mounted a show unlike any ever seen in a presidential election: a massive stadium filled to the top [...]
