As if Hillary Clinton's day wasn't bad enough already, she got the cold shoulder today from former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who told Spanish newspaper El Pais that he's voting for McCain this year.
Greenspan is a registered Republican, so his choice might've been expected -- but it comes at an awkward time, just days after Clinton said she would appoint him to an emergency panel to solve the nation's mortgage crisis:
He has a calming influence still to this day on Wall Street -- don't ask me why because I never understand what he's saying -- but nevertheless people respond to that Delphic oracle approach. I think it would be wise to include him.
Greenspan also held former president Bill Clinton in high esteem, ranking him the best economic steward out of the six presidents Greenspan served under. The former first lady might want to think of a new ally for her mortgage crisis plan.
