in Iraq, went AWOL on capitalism’s meltdown, delegating his economic adviser to release an anodyne two-sentence statement of confidence in Ben Bernanke. This is consistent with Mr. McCain’s laissez-faire approach to economic matters. In January he proposed tasking any problems to “a committee headed by Alan Greenspan, whether he’s alive or dead.” This witty salvo must be very comforting to the large share of Americans — the largest since the Great Depression

Clinton ou Obama não são capazes de vencer o colégio eleitoral. São exercícios prematuros, é certo, mas não deixam de chamar a atenção para o facto de que uma candidatura republicana com um discurso que gravita em torno da segurança e manifestamente defunta em políticas económicas ainda é competitiva.
