PS: If you haven’t yet cast your vote, consider this. Senator McCain has acknowledged, more than once, that he doesn’t really understand economics (e.g., to the Wall Street Journal), but claims that to make up for it he is reading Alan Greenspan’s memoir, “The Age of Turbulence.” Since then: (1) Greenspan has publicly stated that we cannot afford the McCain tax plan (because it would “financ[e] tax cuts” for the wealthy “with borrowed money”); and (2) after the current credit crisis, Greenspan told Congress he was in a “state of shocked disbelief” at how seriously mistaken had been his “model . . . [of] how the world works.” These facts cannot characterize the right choice for President.

Here I think is the real reason McCain has never been able to pull it together in this race. Two two debt-financed wars and a domestic policy rivaling the incompetence of the Katrina disaster have left every American man, woman, and child owing $35,000 on the national debt. Senator McCain’s only real economic idea is to make permanent our existing tax policy, despite its having had several years to work already. Instead, his campaign’s main strategy is to change focus almost completely every few days, usually from one tangential issue to the next, stressing William Ayres, then ACORN, then Joe the Plumber, and now for a few days it’s been that Obama, because he means slightly to modify one of the world's most regressive tax systems, is a “socialist." (That one’s a bit ironic after the Republican government took the single largest equity stake in the previously private financial sector.) McCain’s administration would also be overrun with business lobbyists; his very campaign manager and several other advisers were millionaire lobbyists for, of all things, mortgage bankers.
The tragedy is what his chances of winning show about us as people. By not making utterly inevitable an Obama landslide, we Ohioans have shown ourselves a flock of callow children who’ve earned no right of self-government. How long must we stand like fools in the same burning building before we just step outside?

Every Ohioan considering how to vote should consider two things: (1) the GOP, from its very presidential candidate all the way down, has absolutely hammered on the claim that "ACORN" and other boogeymen have rigged the current election, while (2) there is this chilling story (told here by one of the United States' most prominent election law experts, Rick Hasen of Loyola LA Law School) explaining how this whole alleged problem has been essentially fabricated, and how the fabricators are themselves top GOP operatives with close ties to the Bush administration and the McCain campaign:
