Maybe McCain's economic state is strong!

Yesterday (September 15), one of the worst days for the economy in decades, McCain made a statement basically claiming that the economy is stable and even strong. Could this be why individuals say McCain is out of touch with American society? Without a question the media is narrowing in on the subject of the economy, and each of the candidates' reactions to the crisis on Wall St. This is the first time since Palin was put on the ballot that the candidates' policies are actually being discussed and the race is between Obama and McCain rather than Obama and Palin. Could the economic crisis answer Obama's prayers and get him back on top?
