Yes, there is a big problem with the dollar. So yes, any candidate who can associate himself with the solution is going to gain votes. When I talk "associating", it doesn't mean having a solution at all. That's irrelevant. It's just about being perceived as someone who is going to do something about it by the voters.

But McCain and economy... I heard his response when asked about economics in the debates. He simply quoted a very long list of people who he would ask for help. I mean: there is no sign that McCain knows much about economics the average american. What's even worse is that his priority is "war". War costs money. So it's going to be very, very hard for him to act as problem solver when it comes to the US economy. Harder than whoever is going to be his opponent in the race to the white house.

Just my thoughts...
