Money, Sex & Politics...

The Wall Street Journal today juxtaposes the leading issue on collective minds -- the woeful state of the economy -- with a political economic story on the topic above the masthead and a fed economic story on the top right under the masthead.  Link one to the other, business-wise and visually via the astute layout, as the WSJ paper did, and this catapults a candidate to the positional lead. At least on this topic. 

Hillary is swimming ahead with the economic issue (where CNN has been noting Obama had swum ahead).  Earlier I noted that swim, swam, swum, the race is far from done.

Well, sex, politics and money are the three hot topics so I'll just juxtapose the latest greatest New York Magazine cover in this post to have all three covered.  Their inside article, Why Stand By? took my post Wife, Thy Name is Support, to an interesting area: "Silda Wall Spitzer was caught in a trap she’d inadvertently set for herself. Like half of the best-educated and most-privileged women in this country who have babies, she relinquished her high-powered career to devote herself to supporting her spouse and caring for their three daughters. However traditional this idea of wifely duty, it was an open-eyed decision, mulled over endlessly and made on modern, postfeminist terms.  ...In a way, it’s the saddest part of the story, and it exposes the risks women take when they make certain kinds of choices—things that, after Silda, they might not think are safe."
