Not a dig against Paul today, I just found it interesting that even people in the the 'outsider' campaign are going to McAmnesty. What is interesting about Luskin jumping ship was that he was brought over to Paul's camp as an economic advisor and was a big proponent for Paul's economic plan- far different from McCain's approach.

Wow! I am a tremendous fan and follower of Luskin at Trend Macrolytics(for about 10 years) and he is a true supply side economist. Truly great news.

There are rumors that McCain may be interested in the Fair Tax, Per Neal Boortz.

We can see the troops are being amassed for the final assault on Conservatism.

Please help save it...

From an insanity perspective, I guess you’d call that a lateral move.

Possible, but I doubt it, his main economic advisor is his close friend Phil Gramm.

If, by some chance McCain won the general election, he would be the treasury secretary, he is also the guy who has been putting together the economic and tax issues guys for McCain.

I don't know why, I do not understand how, but McCain has collected alot of strong supply guys for his campaigns inner circle.

If I had to take a guess, they see the voting trend and have decided they would rather be on the inside and try to influence policy versus be on the outside and be on the receiving end of policy they have no say in...

“Luskin told Paul he’d see it through to the end.”

And this was the end.

Smart move, switching to the top dog. Didn’t expect principled loyalty, did you?
