Since we’re about reasoned political analysis here, it is fitting that we begin a series of posts on the 2008 presidential election between Senators McCain and Obama.  We intend to cover the policies proposed by both Senators.  This will include the candidates policies on taxes, trade, energy, health care, education (something near and dear to our hearts, since we’ve been in school so long!), and possibly others.  We’ll try to focus on the economic policies, but that doesn’t mean we’ll leave out the softer issues like gun control, gay marriage, abortion, civil liberties.  Again we welcome reader participation, so if you think one of us is off, by all means, let us know!  We look forward to all the coming discussion.  - 3EcoNBloG
