Economy

As McCain Campaign Manager Mark Davis stated a few days ago. "This election is not about issues. This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates."

Right. It's not about the economy, cause why would it be. A few weeks ago John McCain said on Laura Ingraham's talk show, "the fundamentals of our economy are strong."

Obama slammed him in Scranton PA yesterday using McCain's own words against him. ""What's more fundamental than having a job?" Obama said. "What's more fundamental than seeing your incomes keep pace with inflation so that you can save a little bit and watch your child walk off stage with a college diploma in their hand? What's more fundamental than that? I don't think this is because John McCain is a bad person. I just don't think they get it."

Brillant. Obama and Biden has to make it about issues such as the economy. McCain wants us to believe he's a "reformer" when he basically agrees with all the moves the Bush Administration has made in dealing with the economy (Though at first he did reject Bush's tax cuts until he had to make nice with the conservative base).

Almost forgot some indictors of that "strong" economy:

Unemployment climbs to 5-year high of 6.1 percent

U.S. Mortgage Foreclosures, Delinquencies Reach 29 year high

Remember it's not about the issues...
