I think Obama wins this. He’s not held accountable for whatever compromises are made. While McCain is. Moreover, McCain has been weak in making sure people know Obama was in eyebrow deep in the mess and essentially, bought and paid for by Freddie and Fannie and the like.

However, if Obama wins, and he probably will at this point (with about a week of unanswered campaigning) it’s silly to think there will be a backlash. Already he’s talking of unleashing his partisans on show trials and the like. He can simply use the crisis to suspend the Constitution and enact President for Life Socialism. Ala his models Cuba and Venezuela. There won’t be any political force to stop him.

He won’t be accountable unless/until America gets nuked. Simply because he’ll hold all the cards. Hard left Presidency, Congress, and Judiciary. With mandatory pictures of “the One” in every room. Your new God.
