With Obama and McCain in dead heat in election (according to Cnn's latest polls), the candidates ideas about how to fix the economy could be key in getting voters to support them. Today, wall street is in the worst situation it has been in since after 9/11, and the Dow is down 504 points. This is mostly because the Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, making it THE BIGGEST bankruptcy in history. Now, I think the candidates really need to focus on what is on people's minds most: the economy. It could be so clear cut. The candidate who finds the best way to improve this country's economic problem could become the next president of the United States.

Unfortunately, I think this is where McCain will begin to pull even more ahead due to his taxation policies on the rich and upper middle class. In times of crisis, McCain's economic policies will benefit states like New Jersey and others more. It's sad to admit because I feel that Obama has a much better plan, but the outdated trickle down economy policy of the Republicans may seem appealing to many in a time like this.
On a counternote, maybe the public will realize that it is time to change our economic standards from the trickle down theory into something tangible for everyone.
