>Just one example of how worried everyone is about their savings and investments. Individuals, businesses, institutions, they're all worried. I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger topic in the debate last night. There was a question about what things they might have to back off from due to the financial crisis. Biden answered partially, saying foreign aid and a couple of other things. Palin really didn't answer it at all. I didn't watch the first McCain-Obama debate last Friday but read that they both ducked the question, too. This is the #1 worry of Americans right now and I wish they would answer it honestly. Yeah, I know, I'm a utopian ;-)

I heard evaluators state that 1/3rd of the debate last night was on the economy.
