Regardless of who it is.. Obama/Biden/Clinton or McCain/Palin - NONE OF THEM ARE QUALIFIED to be in charge right now. If you say Obama is and McCain isn't - your intellectually dishonest - and vice versa.
You can't say Obama is better on the economy. That's a total joke. He himself admits that he is not an economic expert - so he has surrounded himself with expert advisers. The problem is, MOST of those advisers are the former heads of GOLDMAN, LEHMAN, FANNIE & FREDDIE! Some of which may end up indicted! If that's not a total lack of judgement... then Palin is a financial genius.
Additionally - you can't say that McCain is better on the economy because he too admits he is not that informed or knowledgeable on the economy. He doesn't have the best advisory staff either - but they are atleast not plucked from all the failing companies on Wall Street.
So, ultimately... BOTH major party tickets are perilously UNQUALIFIED for the job. And if you are here on GFY bashing one and proclaiming the other the 'savior' your just another political hack with ZERO credibility.
One thing is certain... the economic landscape for the next decade will be nothing like the last and the global political climate is getting ever stickier by the day (China/Russia/Iran/Venezuela/etc.).
If/when the thieves in DC finalize this bailout crap - once again, the US taxpayers will payoff the bad debts of the elite - just like we've done in the past - and will do in the future.

McCain does have the woman who nearly drove HP into bankruptcy before bailing out with a 40 million dollar golden parachute and he has Phil Gramm just do a Google search for phil gramm + enron to see some of the wonders he has pulled off.
That said, I'm curious what you suggest we, the voters, do. The way I see it we are fucked either way. At this point we have to pick who we think will fuck us the least. It is kind of like asking, "would you like getting ass raped?" or "would you like getting ass raped with some spit on the dick for lube?"
And please don't just say Ron Paul.
