...tech companies, is down about 80% since the beginning of September. (By contrast, the S&P Index lost about 25% of its value over the same time period.)

Today, the teleprompter has become a regular part of his routine, and his performance borders on bombastic. The closing stump speech is a mixture of conservative ideology on taxes, questions about Obama's truthfulness, and jokes about Obama's gaffe-prone running-mate, who McCain refers to as "Joe the Biden" and "the gift that keeps on giving...
