No a majority of economists have not. Only 9 out of 17 that CNN interviewed. Sample size of 17 is not something you can draw such conclusions from. They also only mentioned three by name (never heard of them), who knows if these people are really "top economists". Many of their critiques weren't even policy related, they were things like "Romney might be more likely to get Congress to do something". I think Romney probably would be better for the economy at least in the short term but this article is pretty much meaningless.

I don't disagree completely with you on this. The economists have no better foresight than anyone else, and forecasting the future is always uncertain and usually pretty meaningless; however, the panel is the same construct though that you like to use when it goes the way that you want it to. You only will agree with a poll if it supports your agenda though.

I'm sorry but I don't believe I have done this. If you reread my reply I said I think Romney probably would boost the economy more at least in the short term but I assure you my agenda is not to support Romney. I have no problem with you referencing such an article for discussion purposes. My problem was that you made a claim that "most economists prefer Romney" based on a poll of 17 people. That's very misleading whether I like what you are saying or not.

Here is what I think: he got elected because he said he was going to fix everything. I didn't expect him to magically make everything wonderful, but he should of made things a little better. the truth is that he made things worse by raising taxes (obamacare) and wasting trillions of dollars on stimuluses that didn't work. he had his chance now GTFO and lets try someone else.
