In an email slugged ‘It’s All Other People’s Money,’ Reader No. 1 responds to my Pags comment in this post:
I am not particularly a Pags backer (can someone ask whether he supported TARP and if so, why?) but I do not understand your comment "I still don't like a candidate who basically tries to buy an election via wealth he got from other people's money." How is this any worse than a candidate who basically tries to buy an election via campaign contributions in the form of other people's money?
As to why he is doing surprisingly well in the polls: that's easy: he's the only candidate with a clear and coherent message that the economy is Job One, not health care or how many people you know in Washington or government jobs.
Update -- This won't help Pags.
