Looking at the last 20 years, I'd say the Democrats are actually looking better economically than the Republicans.
Investing in important institutions like health care and education tends to benefit the economy as a whole, while tax cuts for the richest of the rich tend to benefit mainly the richest of the rich.
The Democrats aren't the crazy, irresponsible, far-left socialists that Fox News makes them out to be. Both Clinton and Obama support moderate economic policies that seem likely to be a significant economic improvement over the policies of the Bush administration.
Economics, meanwhile, has never exactly been McCain's biggest strength.
