It's the economy, stupid.

Have we forgotten 1992? Everybody dig out your James Carville buttons...

The New York Times ran a solid op-ed reacting to McCain's recent comments on the complete collapse of Wall Street, stating that our economy remains "fundamentally sound." Naturally, he's been playing PR catch-up to squash his own ignorance, but one can only hope this--albeit terrifying--turn of events will be the thing to save the Democrats.

By this afternoon, The Huffington Post had posted a story on the string of blunders McCain has made since opening his mouth two days ago. Several sites, including Talking Post Memo, speculated early in the day toward a possible bump in the polls that would bring Obama back on top. Catch CBS News' take here as--could it be?--Obama sits 49-44.

Never has an incumbent party kept office through an election with a weak economy. Here's hoping history repeats itself.
