Tom Campbell and Bruce Cain will provide a survey of the country and the state from both an economic and political perspective, making predictions and explanations for near-term business and political trends. They will then apply those conclusions to the issue of electoral politics, trying to make predictions on the outcome of the presidential and congressional elections. Tom believes politics influences economics, and economics dominates politics. Bruce believes economics influences politics, and politics dominates economics. Both will explain why theirs is the better view.
