If McCain loses...

...it will be because he is not much of an economist, and he has shown it by pretty much floundering when he had to produce an opinion on the current financial disaster. I detest Mitt Romney, but one has to admit that this would have been his sort of thing; even if he ultimately happened to talk nonsense, he would have talked it with fluent confidence and an understanding of the issues. The catastrophe of Wall Street may well turn out to be the Democrats' big opportunity - just as a campaign of political genius had practically painted them into a corner.

Fair enough, but it does make a difference if you at least sound like you know what the [whatever] you're talking about.
