I was just browsing the BBC's website and found an article on robo-calls the McCain campaign are apparently making.
Go to the link and listen:

I agree with Jozie's last post. This crisis will eventually pass, even though it might not feel like it now. And if we elect a president based on the stock market, when the storm passes we might be left with someone incapable of running the country, or whose ideas do not match ours. I'm not backing any candidate in particular by writing this, only saying that we can't let this be the only factor we consider when we step behind the curtain to vote.

As the sup prime mortgage crisis grips America and the rest of the world time passes quickly by. The presidential election is only a month away and other issues are still waiting to be thoroughly discussed. The economic crisis will eventually pass and the other policies that the presidential candidates support will be left unchallenged. There are other issues that the American public is concerned worth as well. I’m not arguing that the economic crisis isn’t going to leave its mark on history; I believe that other issues should be at least given a little bit of room considering the election is less than a month away.

The subprime mortgage crisis has spawned into a global crisis, which has been described as, "the biggest market disruptions since the Great Depression", it has bankrupted Iceland, and even managed to slow the growth of China. Not only does the crisis concern the average American, it concerns most of the world.
A economic problem of this magnitude should be the primary focus of the media and the presidential candidates. Any economic disaster the can bankrupt another country and be compared to the Great Depression is certainly worth taking seriously even at the cost of other issues. Also what other issues are there to Americans other than the thickness of their billfolds? "It's the economy, stupid!" Iraq, global warming, gays, and the unborn can wait their turn.

The subprime mortgage crisis has dominated the political news over the past month, leaving other political issues at the way side. Is this focus driven by the media, public demand for it, or the gravity of the crisis?
