submitted 2 months 13 hours ago by: tbhatty : 6 commentsRecessions ruined the re-election bids of Carter and Bush. Could a weak economy hurt John McCain's chance of keeping the White House in GOP hands?
Numerous studies by political scientists point to economic woes as among the worst possible drags on the chances for an incumbent party's nominee in presidential elections.
"If there is a relationship which is understood and documented over and over and over again, it's the relationship between the state of the economy and people's decision on whether to vote for the incumbent party or whether to throw the rascals out,"
Pakistani saw it happened in their election...

Republicans know that they have no chance this election that is why they put up a guy who will be lucky to be alive come november let alone survive a four year term. He is a 'no risk' candidate since he has no political future to worry about. If they thought they had a real chance, then the guy who gets credited for turning the fortunes of the party, Newt Gingrich, would be running
It will be a miraculous coup if McCain somehow pulls off this stunt
I respectfully disagree with you.
Yes, McCain is the oldest running republican candidate but his views on foregin policies are some what main stream.
Are you following the same McCain that I am?
100 years war
Bomb Iran
Unilateral action in Pakistan
Yep all this is mainstream indeed
I dont think McCain every mentioned Unilateral action against Pakistan. If my memory serve me correctly, the statement was made by Obama.
Bomb iran .... USA will never attempt to do it. keep in mind u need to keep all options on the table.
" USA will never attempt to do it"...Anything is possible while Bush is in charge. He acts first and thinks later
I dont think its possible after what we have seen in resent most conflicts.
