Do you really think Dems helped the crisis to grow? It could backfire as the crisis worsens, may be first helped in polls as long the crisis was thought to be easily passed, very soon the American People I think will turn to someone that can reassure them, that has a long experienced life in public office and has proven records of being strong in tough times, age that some people thought to be a disavantage may soon proved to be a real asset if Sen McCain shows (he can) he may be the father the Nation will be looking for in very difficult times.
