McCain didn't talk about the stock market yesterday, and didn't put out a statement on it, while Obama did both, and McCain campaign manager Rick Davis was asked about that on a conference call (about Acorn!) this afternoon.

"There’s very little a candidate for president can say and very little the president can say about what’s happening in the stock markets except hope that they correct themselves," Davis said, adding that McCain's mortgage plan could be an "elixir" for the financial crisis.

"I can’t imagine a situation where on a daily basis the campaign would put out a statement about what the market was doing," he said. "It doesn’t meant that we don’t care and aren’t trying to do something about it."

The campaign, he said, shouldn't become a "CNBC news show on the stock market."

8. Bulls***

The campaign's position on the economy IS a story worthy of CNBC's coverage.

They invited ALL the candidates to come on during the primaries.
They invited McCain and Obama to come on.

The Repugs don't want to talk economy because its a loser for them.

9. When you marry $100 MILLION dollars, there's no such thing as a bad economy.

The man with 7 homes and 13 cars thinks talking about the economic crisis isn't interesting? SHOCKING!
