Campaign 2008 - Retirement - Vote in our Poll

| | Comments (0) digg this
Welcome to the Think Retirement blog! 

The 2008 Presidential Candidate selection process has officially begun with the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire Primary.  Today is primary day in New Hampshire, and the residents of that state are lining up in what appear to be record numbers to cast their votes.  What's driving people to vote for one candidate or another?  Iraq?  Immigration?  War on Terror?  Foreign Relations?  The Economy?  Who is the best "Agent of Change?"

How will the candidates address Retirement issues?  What can we see from their position statements and what they are saying today?  We'll be taking a look at those issues as the campaigns progress, in addition to other topics that are of interest to people of retirement age.  

Vote in our poll on the right.  We'll keep it up through the entire campaign season, so check back to see who's leading the race.  It's unbiased, not affiliated with any party or candidate and completely unscientific!  Only one vote per person, please.  

Issues that speak directly to the subject of retirement do not seem to be foremost on the minds of the candidates, or the reporters and pundits who speak endlessly on their every move and sound bite.  No matter what transpires in terms of the War in Iraq, Immigration, or any of the other major issues over the next four to eight years, we are all going to get older, and many will be giving more and more attention to retirement issues.  Health Care, Social Security, Employment and fiscal responsibility issues will get our attention as record numbers of Baby Boomers confront leaving the mainstream workforce.  

Let's Go!  Vote in our Poll - Tell us what you think is important!
