Well, this week's survey answered itself. We asked whether anyone cared about what presidential nominees McCain and Obama had to say about the economy and small business—and got nay a response.

Maybe you've got it right.

While it may not really matter what either candidate promises at this point anyway (politicians have a funny way of changing their tune once in office), both had a lot of nothing to say about small business. John McCain held an entire town hall focused on the topic in Michigan this week and only managed to spit out that he wouldn't raise taxes. And while Obama says he won't specifically hike taxes on small businesses, he says he will raise taxes for people making more than $250K—which some conservatives are crying is tantamount to the same thing. Obama also commented on a story we covered earlier this week about Fortune 500 companies who secured government contracts meant for small businesses—saying that under his administration, those sorts of slip-ups wouldn't exist. Great?

Frankly both their comments were a little disappointing—which is why we don't take this week's lack of participation [entirely] personally.
