Obama had a great point in his nomination victory speech last night.
I'm paraphrasing here, but it was something to the effect of, "Senator McCain says that I should go to Iraq to see what's going on there first hand. But I say that Senator McCain needs to visit all of the states that I have, to see first hand how crippling our economy has been on the citizens of America."
He was more eloquent about it, but his point is a good one; at this juncture, this election is going to hinge more on our collapsing economy than it is on Iraq. Granted, the two go hand in hand to a certain extent, but Iraq hasn't been headlining any news programs or blogs recently....it's not a top issue anymore.
