Buffett endorses Kerry!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3679627.stm

Investor Warren Buffett, the world's second richest man, is to help Senator John Kerry's campaign to remove President Bush from the White House.

Mr Buffett, worth some $40bn, said he disagreed profoundly with Mr Bush's tax cuts for rich people like him.

Mr Buffett usually backs winners, at least in business, though that does not necessarily mean Senator Kerry will win in November's presidential poll.

6. No

But he did help Arnold win in CA. My take on that is he KNEW Arnold had it locked up and wanted to get in there and help shape some sound fiscal policy. Just my opinion.

4. Good news

Buffett is one of the few tycoons who has come out against corporate excess in the recent past. This gives real credibility to the anti-Bush tax cut side and may cause some to pause and think. The big corporate folks are still overwhelmingly going to support Bushco, but this will boost Kerry.

9. Yes, it's time for Jummy to weigh with a tune that describes the

Bush disaster of the last 3 years. A "Coconut Telegraph" or "Volcano"-type tune would do it nicely. :-)
