Will Barack Obama Positively Impact Our Economy?
The economy was a huge issue throughout the 2008 Presidential campaigns and is one of the primary concerns for President Elect Barack Obama. CNN polled voters and 62 percent of respondents said the economy is their number one concern. Do you think Obama will be able to positively impact the US economy?
Your Two Cents: Are You Leaving Work Early to Vote Today?
Casting your vote for the next US president should be a priority today, and we can expect Election Day voting lines to be on the longer side this year. Here in California the polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m., so hopefully the long hours encourage everyone to get out and vote.
The Presidential Hopefuls and Your Pocketbook
The New York Post put together this awesome chart that breaks down where the presidential hopefuls stand on six key issues — taxes, health care, trade, minimum wage, mortgage fraud, and the environment. Use it as a reference to make sense of what they've been debating about and everything you'll be hearing in the coming months — who doesn't love cheat sheets that make life easier?!
Would You Ever Consider a Career in Politics?
Super Tuesday has the voting pubic anxiously awaiting results, but can you imagine what it would be like if you were one of the candidates? A career in politics requires relentless networking, public speaking, creating a personal brand with solid ideas, and the willingness to have every aspect of your life scrutinized. Of course the level of scrutiny depends on how far you would want to go, as there are many layers of politics, but how would you feel about working anywhere from local politics to the Oval Office?
Go Lite When Talking Politics in the Office
I'll be hitting the polls after work today, and I usually respond openly when asked which candidate I'm voting for. My political position is of course, personal, but the question doesn't bother me, though I know some people find the question slightly invasive so I'm usually not the one asking about others' politics. The office is one place where you may want to be on guard about your politics, and the NYT has a helpful Q & A to get you through the next nine months.
Your Two Cents: Do You Give Political Donations?
Politically active celebs like Ben Affleck, Viggo Mortensen and Dave Matthews have been donating left and right (well, mostly left). While their wallets are much heftier than most of ours, I'm wondering if you put any of your check towards the candidate of your choice or if you leave donating to the celebs.

Where Do the Candidates Stand on Savvy Issues?
Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, so I've been thinking a lot about which candidate will be getting my vote. Between keeping up with where the candidates stand on certain issues and reading my daily dose of CitizenSugar, I've narrowed down my decision with confidence. I found two great resources on Bankrate that let you compare candidates based on employment- and money-related issues like healthcare, social security, and taxes.
What's on Your Millennial Mind?
What's on Your Millenial Mind?
There's been a lot of discussion these days trying to pin down Gen Yers (also known as Millennials) as one thing or another. We 18 to 29 year olds make up 20 percent of registered voters, so the presidential hopefuls are trying to find out what makes us tick.
Your Two Cents: Do You Care About Our President's Net Worth?
When I first came across this CNN article "Millionaires-in-Chief" I felt like I was reading something I shouldn't — like when someone instant messages you about yourself. It outlines each presidential candidates' net worth, how they got rich, and how their money is invested. I'll admit, I found myself caring more and more as I scrolled through the candidates' net-worth profiles.
