It didn’t impact the primaries so much.  Throughout 2007 there was talk of the “cooling housing market” and whether that could put us into recession.

The housing market was getting really bad during 2008 but kind of under the surface.  With skyrocketing oil prices, people I think had a similar feeling to what they might’ve had in 1930.  The frenzy of the good times had quickly come to an end, but it seemed like we might just limp along for a while and move on.

Then September and the sh**t hit the fan not unlike how things began spiraling downward late in 1930 and the real depression began.
