I might take that up at some point; I think it would probably end up being a really long post! But I would not want to imply that foreign policy is not highly important, or that it would be fine for a president to be way off on that as long as his economic policy were good. My main point here is that: as a voter, if you don't know what you think about foreign policy or economic policy and you don't have time to learn the basic principles of both, familiarize with economic policy first. Also, I think that's easier. Bryan: Great question. I might take that up at some point; I think it would probably end up being a really long post!

So if you have to choose, focus on economic policy over foreign policy." I am not disagreeing with you- I just was wondering if you were planning on fleshing that belief out some time. I'm interested in hearing why you believe that. Thanks! Hey Matt, you said, “My advice here is this: First, economic policy is more important than foreign policy.

I enjoyed reading it. Looks like we differ on a lot of issues, including economic and tax policy. See my Post "What McCain Should Say" for some reasons I would differ from your perspective there: http://www.whatsbestnext.com/2008/10/what-mccain-should-say/ Dan: Very thoughtful post.
