    To the Point

    Once Again, It's Politics and the Economy

    John McCain today proposed $52 billion in tax cuts and savings guarantees to restore the economy. We look at where both candidates stand and examine so-called "Bradley Effect." Also, the Bush Administration today took a stake in American banks, and with all the dramatic developments on the economy, is it time for a sigh of relief?

    John McCain today proposed $52 billion in tax cuts and savings guarantees to restore the economy, the issue which is likely to dominate the rest of the campaign. We look at where both candidates stand and examine so-called "Bradley Effect." Do African American candidates face "hidden racism" that doesn't show up in the polls? Also, the Bush Administration today announced plans to partly nationalize American banks, and with all the dramatic developments on the economy, is it time for a sigh of relief?
