"...trying to step in and dictate the specific course of change in the industry is folly."

The U.S. should recognize Hamas as the elected Palestinian government.

"I'm fairly certain I have said that Israel should negotiate with Hamas (certainly I do think Israel should negotiate with Hamas)"

There should not be term limits for elected officials.

Term limits have never struck me as a policy with an especially strong theoretical or empirical justification.

Mark-to-market accounting should not be suspended.

Suspension would allow financial institutions to recapitalize themselves through handwaving and cooking the books

Barack Obama's association with Bill Ayers is not a legitimate concern.

...wrongheaded and dangerous.

Vice presidential candidates do not influence the outcome of elections.

"In practice, VP choices — despite the fact that they’re sometimes hugely consequential after the election (LBJ, Dick Cheney) — rarely impact the election"

Joseph Biden was a good choice for Obama's vice presidential candidate.

"it’s definitely a ticket that can argue they have more personal acquaintance with the struggles of middle class American life than John McCain"
