		<description>Yay, absolutely 0 comments about Ron Paul not being on the list =) 

I can&#039;t wait for the election to be over (no matter who wins... as long as it&#039;s a democrat) for the sole reason that I will never hear his name again.</description>

		<description>Holy crap!  Useful article, yes.  However, it&#039;s usefulness is to point out that venture capitalists (collectively) are just as deluded and irrational as the general population.   

Don&#039;t even get me started on the 16% that believe Obama will be sworn in as President of the United States.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, I have nothing against the man.  I&#039;m just saying there are some very, very, very long odds against him becoming President.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m begining to think that everything about VCs is basic common sense.

That is obvious from graph&#039;s colors:
green/yellow/red means +/-/=
green/blue/red means =/+/-

Very consistent... ;-)

The numbers are interesting thou.</description>

61% of this &quot;rich lot&quot; (they have millions) believe that our economy is going to decline in 2008. 

Shouldn&#039;t that be worrisome?!</description>
