The stock market isn’t helping out. In fact it is a Godsend to the Obama forces.

I was not impressed with John McCain’s performance in the first debate . .

He did not seem to have a handle on the economy or the causes of the current sub-prime melt-down.

And Obama did?

The bad economic news, and more specifically McCain's lackluster response to it, is leading people to clamor even more strongly for "change".

We all know the change Obama will bring will make a terrible situation much, much worse, but the American people are desperate and McCain has not yet given them a reason to believe he can fix the problems.

He MAY still be able to get there, but it sure looks doubtful and he is rapidly running out of time.
