For John McCain, it was a really bad week to have a bad week, and he had a bad week, with the comment about the fundamentals of the economy, which it took two days for him to be able to come back from that. … The economy’s been the number one on the issue list for the last nine months, and it’s gonna stay that way. … The candidate that figures out how to connect best on the economy is going to be the next president. And I think you will see … even in the national security, which is next Friday, the economy will be the constant reminder.
