McCain WANTS to win this election because of the economic crisis...

Certain people among the ultra-rich love temporary deflation: It allows them to acquire the assets of the working and middle classes at fire sale prices. That's why we're seeing all these dirty stunts.

1. maybe he thinks that he'd be credited with the "turnaround", the same way

that FDR is generally regarded as having got us through one of the darkest periods in the history of the U.S. ...

HOWEVER ...

McCain would actually have to do something ... and he has no plan ...

it would likely end up that he would extend the worldwide depression (and start yet another war) than try to solve it ...

2. Agreed!

Seriously, in some ways, I truly believe that McCain is worse than Bush, if possible. At least before Bush was admitted to the office, we didn't think he was war happy! McCain, scares the livin shit outta me!
