I think it would have a big impact on this race if McCain were to get endorsed by Suze Orman. She has already said she does not like the sound of proposed tax increases. She tells her viewers and fans how to save and make money, not lose it. Although I don’t think she is a conservative, Suze wants to see Americans prosper and make money, not have it taxed away. I think the McCain camp ought to seek her endorsement.
I was surprised on one show when Suze said she favored a flat tax too. Sounds more Republican than Democrat to me!
I think it would make a bigger impact on the race if they ran commercials asking if B.O. supported seizing 401K funds.
Also nail down if B.O. will go on record regarding the Bush tax cuts. Will they be allowed to expire? Yes or no?
"Although I don’t think she is a conservative, Suze wants.."
You don't *think* she is a conservative? Haaaa....she is an "out-of-the-closet" lesbian. Haven't you heard. I heard it in an interview. No kidding.

In the Feb. 25, 2007, issue of the New York Times Magazine, financial guru Suze Orman revealed that she is a lesbian and has been with her partner, Kathy Travis, for seven years. During the interview, which covered her latest book, Women and Money, due out at the end of this month, writer Deborah Solomon asked Orman if she is married, and Orman replied initially, "I'm in a relationship with life." Solomon then prompted, "Meaning what?" and Orman replied: "K.T. is my life partner. K.T. stands for Kathy Travis. We're going on seven years. I have never been with a man in my whole life. I'm still a 55-year-old virgin." Orman rocketed to fame in the late 1990s when her financial guidebooks, including The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom (1997) and The Courage to be Rich (1998) became best-sellers. She has become known for her straightforward, passionate financial advice that often is delivered with a spiritual angle. "In all realms of life it takes courage to stretch your limits, express your power, and fulfill your potential," she has said. "It's no different in the financial realm." In reaction to Orman's coming-out, numerous media outlets have focused on her statements regarding her inability to legally marry her partner and the financial repercussions of that status. "Both of us have millions of dollars in our name," Orman told the New York Times Magazine. "It's killing me that upon my death, K.T. is going to lose 50 percent of everything I have to estate taxes. Or vice versa." Though Orman now boasts a liquid net worth of approximately $25 million (with $7 million more in real estate), she didn't start out wealthy; in fact, Orman grew up in Chicago 's South Side and worked part-time at her father's take-out chicken shop. After completing her B.A. in social work, she moved to Berkeley, Calif., and worked at the Buttercup Bakery for seven years.
