I ve been carping for months now about the president s criticism of the economy and how it was harming the investment climate. When President Obama uses words such as  catastrophic,  Wall Street listens. Now that the president s pushed his stimulus package through Congress, he and his advisers have changed tune and are positively bullish at least for them:The New York Times says the Obama advisers  walked a careful line Sunday, saying that despite a few hopeful indicators and President Obama s call to investors to consider returning to the share markets, that it would  take some time  to turn a corner.                                         Overly-enthusiastic Vice President Joe Biden crossed way over the line. In Arkansas over the weekend Biden said:...he and the president have no doubt that the country will overcome its economic problems.

 Democrat Mark War stanley cup ner of Virginia was not consid stanley cup ered one of the most endangered senators this cycle. But Republican Ed Gillespie is putting up a fight on Election Day, making the race much closer than expected.There has been very strong turnout among conservative portions of the electorate, specifically white evangelicals. These voters comprised 28 p stanley cup ercent of the electorate today, five points higher than in 2012. Additionally, older Virginia voters--54 percent of whom voted for GOP nominee Mitt Romney in 2012-- increased their share of the electorate by seven points.The close race is surprising partly because of Warner s popularity. Fifty-six percent of today s voters said they have a favorable view of Warner, compared to only just 48 percent who said the same of Gillespie. On the other hand, voters  views of the two parties are equally negative: 58 percent view Democrats unfavorably, and 58 percent view the GOP unfavorably.                                        Polls in Virginia closed at 7 p.m.                                                                      ponent--type-recirculation .item:nth-child 5          display: none;             inline-recirc-item--id-2bbdb1f3-d4ed-4098-b902-64cbe1dc2e4e,  right-rail-recirc-item--id-2bbdb1f3-d4ed-4098-b902-64cbe1dc2e4e         display: none;             inline-recirc-item--id-2bbdb1f3-d4ed-4098-b902-64cbe1dc2e4e ~ .item:nth-child 5          display: block;       Zgvz New Trump administration rule cracks down on welfare benefits use by legal immigrants
 Barack Obama s vice presidential search team has floated the name of a member of President Bush s first-term Cabinet, Agriculture Secretary Ann Vene stanley website man, as Obama s running mate.The search committee, now led by Caroline Kennedy and Eric Holder, raised Veneman s namemdash; among othersmdash; in discussions with members of Congress, two Democrats familiar with the conversations said.The mention of Veneman s name surp stanley becher rised Democratic lawmakers. The low-profile Republican was close to food and agriculture industries but clashed with farm-state Democrats and environmentalists during her tenure, which lasted from 2001 to 2004.                                         But Veneman, 59, has a biography that could be suited to Obama s unifying message. A Republican raised on a California peach farm, she rose to become the nationrsquo  first female agriculture secretary. In 2002 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was treated successfully. Today she serves as executive directo stanley cup r of the United Nations children s agency, UNICEF.The selection of a Republican could bolster Obama s unifying message, a Capitol Hill Democrat familiar with the discussion said.         You select a strong independent woman who appeals to Republicans and independents, and so that s hard to beat,  the Hill source said, explaining the logic of the possible choice.  Choosing someone like [Veneman] doesn t hurt you with the Democrats.
