The entire scope of the financial meltdown wasn't entirely known until mid-2009 - especially when the stock market bottomed out and the unemployment rate surged. With McCain as president, the whole economy seemingly coming apart, I suspect he would have had a massive heart attack and either died or resigned - leaving us with President Sarah Palin.
