I appreciate the vote of confidence however I don't think I am a policy expert. I give political strategic (making me sort of a Karl Rove wantabe) advice and I raise money. Politicians often ask me for policy advice assuming that since I understand political strategy I must also understand policy. That is a common misconception. Unless they ask me about economic and trade issues I tell them I am not qualified to help. Here I spout off my policy opinions because here I don't think they can do much damage and its fun. However, before I would presume to offer advice to a politician on most of the issues discussed here I would do a lot more research.
