Clinton or Obama?

A few of you may have noticed that we’ve added a small polling widget on the right side-bar of this blog. This, of course, is all highly “un-scientific” and doesn’t really mean much, but can provide some interesting results. The current poll asks who you would prefer as the Democratic candidate for the general elections in November – Omaba or Clinton. The results, so far, show Clinton ahead of Obama by about 58% to 42%. This is in contraction with the nationwide polls right now.

I’m curious to know a little bit more. Why would you prefer the one over the other?

Are you a Republican and think that the candidate you chose would lose the General Election to McCain?Are you a Republican and think that if a Democrat is going to be elected, you would prefer the one over the other?Are you a Democrat and favor the one candidate over the other?Are you a Democrat and just think the one has a better chance of winning a General Election over the other?

Protesting For Chicago’s Failed Education Future
Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel and the Chicago Public School (CPS) System have reached an agreement that the way to cover the school system’s $1 billion deficit is to restructure the system by closing 54 under-utilized schools. This type of fiscal responsibility may be prudent in the private sector but it is being protested in Chicago as USA Today reports: Jesse Ruiz, vice president of the Chicago Board of Education, says the number of schools must be pared because many are...
Nobody goes to church on Easter anymore. It’s too crowded.
Explaining why he no longer went to Ruggeri’s, a St. Louis restaurant, baseball legend Yogi Berra said, “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” The same seems to be true of Easter church attendance: Nobody goes to church on Easter anymore. It’s too crowded. A survey taken by LifeWay Research last year of Protestant pastors found that 32 percent of Protestant said Easter typically has the highest attendance for worship services, with 93 percent saying it is in their top...
Why Economists Should Learn From Theologians
Economists did not need psychology to tell them that people can act irrationally and unjustly, says Michael Hendrix. They just needed to listen to theologians: Why don’t we study the links between the two fields?Both economists and theologians operate on the basis of certain fundamental beliefs on the nature of humanity. They are subjects under the sway of irrationality. They are both,as Michael Jinkins put it, “in the business of constructing belief systems based on faith assumptions, and both of...
Acton University: It’s All About Human Interaction
The Acton Institute presents Acton University every June in Grand Rapids, Mich. The course offerings are rich and diverse, but there is often the idea that Acton University is all about economics. It is, but keep in mind that economics is truly about human interaction, and thus the depth of the courses. Who e to Acton University, and what can they expect to get out of it? David Clayton, artist, teacher, writer and broadcaster who holds a permanent post as...
Why Technocrats Should Stay Out Of Politics
I was thinking about just this thing after reading an opinion piece in today’s Detroit News from yet another technocrat who thinks he’s got a solution to the city’s deep, decades-old problems. His plan, dressed up with a lot of happy talk about building “vibrant central cities,” defaults to (surprise) convincing Michigan taxpayers that they should fund “local services” for Detroiters. This sort of abstract theorizing, divorced from political and public policy reality, always defaults to more taxes, bigger government...
Good News About Millennials, Work, and the Resurrection
Millennials (born 1982-1994) often get a bad rap for being narcissistic and difficult to employ. However, according to new research by Ranstad, today’s young adults have more mon with those born before 1946 (mature workers) with respect to positive workplace sentiments than any other generation alive today. According to the research, When asked about their feelings toward their current job, millennials and mature workers responded more favorably than other respondents across the board. In fact, 89 percent of mature workers...
Ordered Liberty and Same Kind of Different as Me
A friend at church recently loaned me the New York Times bestseller Same Kind of Different as Me, which tells the story of how a wealthy art dealer named Ron Hall and a homeless man named Denver Moore struck up a friendship that changed both their lives. I’m only half way through it, but it’s already instructive on several levels that connect to the work of Acton. Denver grew up as an illiterate sharecropper in Louisiana, an orphan who loses...
Easter and the Rotten Corpse
The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” (John 11:44) One of the most beautiful aspects of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that everything Christ does is for the purpose of raising up humanity. The raising of Lazarus of Bethany in John 11 is of course an obvious prelude to our own resurrection and...

Raising Minimum Wage Means More Jobs … For Technology
There is much talk about raising minimum wage, even to the absurd rate of $22 per hour. President Obama has promised an increase to $9 per hour. Some small business owners, feeling the pinch of these raising wages, are turning to technology to solve their economic issues. Carla Hesseltine, who runs a small bakery, is considering eliminating employees and replacing them with tablets that will take orders: In order for her Just Cupcakes LLC to remain profitable in the face...
