Here are McCain’s Gallup tracking numbers against the S&P 500 over the
past two weeks, with a two-day lag to let the market results filter
through Gallup’s rolling average:

http://stateoftheunion.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/marketsvsmccain1.jpg

McCain’s floor hovers around forty percent, accounting for the
divergence at the end; but regardless, the correlation between the two
data sets is a robust 0.77.

As Pollster’s Steve Lombardo says, “The economic situation has virtually
ended John McCain’s presidential aspirations and no amount of tactical
maneuvering in the final 29 days is likely to change that equation.”

Remarkable how McCain's polling chart tracks the S&P 500 chart, isn't it?

McCain is old, out of touch, old, conservative and he is too old.

Republicans counter with "Yeah, well Obama is black and a muslim!"
Which is a clue.

Something about americans giving a shit about obama knowing william
ayers??? I don't care, no one does.

Why remarkable? Surely after McCains party has been in power for eight
years the voters can reasonably associate the present economic
disaster, measured by the level of the S&P500 as a proxy, with
Republican policies. Why would they want more of the same?

I've known this since September of 2007 < yes 2007!

ayers??? I don't care, no one does.

Do you care that, as president, he'd have access to the highest level
classified information. But couldn't get a low level security clearance
for ANY other federal job?

Do you care that his campaign paid ACORN $800,000 to go out and
falsify voter registrations?

Do you care that his campaign is awash with questionable donations?

There are a whole lot of questions about this guy that nobody's asking
because he's a liberal BLACK man.

Hell, the Associated Press recently called Sarah Palin a "racist" for
saying something negative about a black man. Not something about
his race, just something negative about Obama, who happens to be black.

Can we at least put this guy under the same scrutiny that he would
get if he was white?

Obama is going to win.

None of them is up to the job IMHO, although I don't get a vote as a
UK citizen. I have to put up with our economy tanking due to yours
tanking though so I do have a real interest.

McCain is just too old and mentally and physically scarred by his war
experiences. He is not going to think of new solutions to new problems
and challenges at 72 plus. He is just Bush III with already-failed
policies of more attacks on Iraq and even Iran. He's a dangerous
throwback when we need new thinking. Also, he could keel over at any
time from a variety of possible medical conditions in the next four
years and then we would get a female Dan Quale in the form of "Hockey
Mum", whatever that is, Palin. You must be joking!

Obama comes over rather better, good on generalised, high-flown
rhetoric but where are the real policies? Does he have a solution to
the present economic troubles? Does he know anything at all about
economics? Has he got an MBA? Has he ever had a job running anything
or managing people and was he successful?

The dynamics of the race, and the major issues, changed in the two long
years since this Presidential campaign first started.

When it started, the Iraq War was raging, Bush's controversial surge had
just gotten underway, and so foreign policy was dominating the primaries
and caucuses.  McCain began to score in the Republican primaries because
of his strong support for the surge.  (Romney, who knows much more about
economics, wasn't as strong on foreign policy.)  And Obama began to
score in the Democratic primaries because of his opposition to the Iraq
War.  (Hillary, who knows more about economics, alienated the Democratic
base by refusing to apologize for her vote in favor of the war.)

Back then, *no one*, not Bush, not the candidates of the major parties,
were anticipating this major economic crisis.  If this crisis had
occurred one year ago instead of today, the nominees of *both* parties
might well have been different.  Because now, economics has supplanted
Iraq as the number one issue.  But too late to help Romney, Giuliani, or
Hillary, all of whom were stronger on economics.
