This piece is critical of McCain and thus, shows some bias against him. However, the information provided here is well-thought-out and filled with facts and good reasoning. It is, therefore, quite persuasive. The writer includes good information and context. He also addresses points made by Bush's economic advisor who favors McCain's economic policy of massive corporate tax breaks. Whether you are for or against McCain, this piece should be required reading for every voter.
