Financial companies, the bêtes noires of the global economy, were at it again, led by Morgan Stanley, off 22% after speculation about the status of planned investment. Or perhaps the trigger was General Motors, down 31% in the wake of being put on watch for a possible credit-rating downgrade, signaling that the broader economy is on much shakier ground than everyone thought.

Authentically displayed feel-your-pain concern over the economy, in a smoother manner than usual. But while he held the audience's attention with his answers and theatrics, he distractingly and conspicuously scribbled notes when Obama had the floor. His errant reference to Obama as "that one" probably jarred some viewers. Bottom line: with his rival in the lead, the Republican nominee was forced into aggression and antagonism but often flirted with the desperate and negative...
