Reaching for the nearest dead corvid

I've railed against Obama's illiberal, the-market-will-solve-everything economic advisers -- Austan Goolsbee, Jeffrey Liebman, and David Cutler -- throughout cyberspace and for months on end, and this is one of the big reasons why I decided to not vote for Obama.

Now, though, it looks like I'm going to have to eat crow, at least a small helping anyway.

John Edwards, the candidate I have endorsed and [kindasortamaybe] voted for, has Leo Hindery -- apparently the epitome of evil thieving corporate bastards -- for an economic adviser, while Hillary Clinton's chief adviser -- Gene Sperling -- is associated with The Center for American Progress and believes that educating the girls is the key to eradicating poverty in the Third World.

On the other hand, Edwards does appear to have by far the best plan for getting us through the subprime mess.
