If Obama doesn't win we've proven that we are in a "mental recession." When are people going to realize that the current incarnation of the Republican party only represents 1-5% of our interests? And when are Republicans going to find another Teddy Roosevelt? It's freaking sad that I actually miss Bob Dole.

McCain Co-Chairman, Under Fire, Steps Aside

Former Senator Phil Gramm resigned late Friday as a co-chairman of Senator John McCain�s presidential campaign, capping a day filled with controversy for Mr. McCain, the presumed Republican nominee.

�It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Senator McCain on important economic issues facing the country,� Mr. Gramm said in a statement issued by the campaign. �That kind of distraction hurts not only Senator McCain�s ability to present concrete programs to deal with the country�s problems, it hurts the country.�

Mr. Gramm, a multimillionaire banker, has been under fire since last week, when he dismissed concerns about the troubled economy by referring to �a mental recession.� He also said the United States had become �a nation of whiners,� a remark providing fodder for Democrats to portray Republicans as out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans.

I wonder if he will collect unemployment.

As this is a Korea-related board, may I make a modest proposal that Gramm's wife replace him as spokesperson? A better economist than him anyway and with impeccable Republican economic credentials.
