Nuts with the"obamanomics" guys.

I posted that about West Marine because I dont' feel they should go
out of business, but figure out a way to survive in a down economy. It
seems that Overtons, and Cabella, are doing just fine, and they share
a lot of the product line.

Losing business, and the jobs it supports is never a good thing and
shouldn't be ill wished upon by anyone.

West marines problem is they are at least twice as expensive as anyone else.
They have a great selection, especially stainless hardware, but a small
premium will keep customers going there for the convience, but when you can
buy zincs online for 50% of WM price, that is out of the convience level.
