It’s the day after the caucus in Iowa and I wondered if anyone would write about how the presidential election relates to real estate. A quick search found some interesting links, but be warned some content and comments on these other blogs may contain stong language, strong religious views, strong liberal views, strong conservative views, etc. (and it’s okay to disagree with what they wrote):

2008 Presidential election coverage on real estate blogs? No thanks.

When political issues effect our industry, we will cover them. But we wont start backwards, and try to find a way to relate the election to this blog just to generate controversy or page views.

Iowa to Wall Street: Drop Dead

Oil prices are at or about to pass $100. The real estate market continues to scrape along the bottom. People are unhappy about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are unhappy with president. They are unhappy with the Democratic-led Congress. All of this crankiness is a great boon for the Democrats and a potential problem for Wall Street.

Thoughts on the Iowa results and presidential election

The spreading housing crash will become the #1 issue in this campaign. The Dems will want government bailouts of housing gamblers. I hope to see a Rep candidate go the exact opposite direction but ain’t holding my breath.

On good faith, credit and the presidential election

If the massive turnout in the Iowa caucus suggests anything, it is that the public is clamoring for change. Americans will not accept a candidate whose campaign is waged on fear. Rather, it is time for a leader to emerge who can persuade Americans and Congress to follow a new course for economic growth based on more than Miracle Gro suburbs and real estate speculation.

I think I’ll side with the first guy and keep the elections off my real estate blog!  Except for this one post!
