McCain/Palin desperation hits the fan

This morning's Dow Industrials plunge tells us more about the direction of this presidential campaign than the campaign news itself.
The party in power is always hurt by an economic downturn at election time, and Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain married himself to it with his campaign suspension stunt, with its ineffectual return to Washington.
Update
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll conducted over the weekend showed Obama not only leading but also leading among independent voters -- a group which had previously favored McCain.
Oh, and The New Yorker in its special "politics issue" endorsed Obama.
