McCain and Gramm

I just read an article that said Phil Gramm was an economic adviser to Senator John McCain. Personally this eases some concerns for me. Phil Gramm, a former Senator from Texas and PhD of Economics, is a very smart and very conservative man. I've never been down on John McCain but I've been leery about his economic policies. Not for the reasons that all phony "conservatives" have been, I've just been uncertain of him in terms of economic policy. Knowing that he has Phil Gramm advising him tells me two things; he's smart enough to have Senator Gramm advise him and the advice he's getting is pretty damn good.
