The Washington Monthly:

"At the exact same time the RNC was slamming the Obama campaign for using the Wall Street crisis to raise money, the McCain campaign was using the Wall Street crisis to raise money. In emails sent to McCain donors, the campaign explained, 'The American economy is in a crisis. It is in a crisis,' and promoted headlines such as, 'McCain Promises to 'Clean Up Wall Street.'' The McCain campaign email also connected the solicitation to a recent TV ad, which begins, 'When our economy's in crisis, a big government casts a big shadow on us all. Obama and his liberal Congressional allies want a massive government, billions in spending increases, wasteful pork.'"
