With All Due Respect to Michael Barone, Kevin Hassett Has a Horse in the Race

With all due respect to Michael Barone, who has forgotten more about American politics than I'll ever know...

Michael, you might have included the following information yesterday when praising Kevin Hassett's analysis, which fixed the blame for the Wall Street meltdown on the Democrats...

This is from Hassett's bio on the AEI website:

He was an economic adviser to the George W. Bush campaign in the 2004 presidential election and the chief economic adviser to Senator McCain during the 2000 presidential primaries. He currently serves as a senior economic adviser to the McCain 2008 presidential campaign.

Hassett is a likable, smart guy.

But he's got a horse in the race. Big time.
