Lehman Brothers' bankrupt, Dow drops 500+ points --- swing voters will notice this, right?

[RiverStone]

McBush keeps going with his tired old talking point, today in Florida he said yet again, "Our economy, I think, is still -- the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times."

Yep, that's how he said it.

We know the idiot pukes will vote for McBush no matter who or what company crashes in bankruptcy, but certainly these startling economic facts will make it down to the kitchen table of swing and independent voters?! No longer will McBush be able to hide behind the facade that he calls a strong economy.

As concerning as all the business news is - it's better it happened in September, well before the November vote. It may help the politically numb to sit up and pay attention.
