I don't know the status of Cayne's current bridge skills but I believe that the $12Bn a month unfunded we are dumping down the drain in Iraq to defeat 19 guys and their leaders and some other crazies possibly in the wilds of Pakistan has a lot to do with our deep, very sharp slide along with very "able" help from Wall Street financial wizards that, btw, want to manage Social Security. And we now have the possibility of electing a charismatic, smart, well spoken leader who has captured the attention and yes, admiration of people world-wide. He has also demonstrated great skills at organization and execution by taking on one of the best political machines this country has seen in the last couple of decades and beating it. Is he a messiah?...not a chance, but I believe he gives us a possibility of stopping this very deep slide. And I am astounded that people such as IJ (who are not, I hope, part of the nutty base) would even consider going on another 4 years with someone who has supported 90% of the time the inept "leadership?" from the Oval Office and the clearly failed policies of the last 8 years and who also thinks so little of his country and its future that he would select such a lightweight for his VP candidate.
