Economists Favor Obama

Right-leaning Libertarian cartoonist Scott Adams, creator of the tech-office strip Dilbert, has commissioned a survey of economists to determine which candidate the classic super-geeks favored with regard to long-term economic benefits and other social issues.

Obama came out on top in nearly every category, and even though the sample was heavily democratic, that's only because apparently, most economists are democrats, nationwide.

That last bit's news to me, too.
