Does Obama cares more about the US economy than McCain?
Non-book, but interesting: Politico is running an article on the two campaigns' financial condition...and Obama's commanding lead pretty much across the board. The article notes the following figures:
Obama spent $75 million on television advertising, and McCain spent $11 million...The Big O clearly cares more about the US economy, pouring a stunning sum into the coffers of various US business, which in turn trickles all the way down to the countless cups of Starbucks coffee that drives all media companies at this point. The two teams will undoubtedly blow through $500MM...*not* counting what the DNC/RNC and various interest groups will throw on the fire.
Think how many books could have been purchased...
On a slightly related note, for those who like a strong injection of tech with their politics, there are some interesting blathering over at /. Personally, I have a hard time getting beyond McCain's opposition to net-neutrality and support for warrant-less surveillance. - Enjoy.

When the GOP fears a Dem money machine, we know we're getting somewhere.
Being far away in England, I see through a long telescope, but from McCain's performance in front of cameras recently, I think he stands a better chance of winning if he shows his face, and his weird artificial smile, less. So it makes sense to spend much less on TV advertising.
