Campaign 2008
•  Trade Stance Weighs on Obama – Obama plans to visit Europe and the Mideast to promote his pledge to restore relations frayed by the Bush Administration. But he could undercut that promise with his tough stance on trade.
•  Convention Costs Can Spoil the Party – The national conventions often are touted as signs of prestige and a boon to local economies, but security costs and fund-raising headaches are causing cities to think twice about hosting. The concerns are evident in the dwindling number of cities bidding for the events.

ABOUT US
We speak for free markets and free people, the principles, if you will, marked in the watershed year of 1776 by Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." So over the past century and into the next, the Journal stands for free trade and sound money; against confiscatory taxation and the ukases of kings and other collectivists; and for individual autonomy against dictators, bullies and even the tempers of momentary majorities.
