TODAY: Lehman Bros. goes bankrupt. AIG has to be bailed out by New York State. Merrill Lynch sees the writing on the walls and QUICKLY sells itself to Bank of America (before facing bankruptcy).
John McCain this morning said the U.S. economy was sound.
His staffers rush up to him and tell him otrherwise.
John McCain this afternoon changes his mind about the state of the economy but says we should talk about Barack Obama instead.
Smoke and mirrors. He and Palin are gonna be schooled on the economy over the next few days. Maybe then they'll sound like they know what they're talking about.
For whatever reason this smoke and mirrors tactic is working. McCain-Palin are up in all the polls, and in the most telling one Ohio Voters were asked which candidate do they relate to the most. The result? Palin was first, Obama second, McCain third and Biden fourth.
