That's not much of an argument, things went bad at the end of 5-6 years of republican majority. You really thought anyone would buy that as an argument for republicans?

I didn't say things went bad at the end of the GOP majority, but after about nine months with the Democrat majority.

Sorry my mistake, you mean:

“Vote Republican because the economy didn't go bad until a whole 9 months, after 5-6 years of us (+GWB) running all three branches”

I wouldn't run on that, and McCain realized he couldn't either. Unfortunately McCain had nothing to run on so he changed messages every few days. Moral? you need something positive with the negative messages.
