'The words "Nobel", "Economics" and "Scientist" do not appear on McCain's page.'

LOL, very telling! :)

"Nobel", "Economics" and "Scientist"

When was the last time any of those words were used to describe a great business leader? Someone like Jack Welch, etc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Welch). Maybe the Google founders... but I rarely hear them described as great from a business sense.

As for counter examples from McCain... it wasn't hard to find:

300 economists, including multiple Nobel winners, that agree with McCain on his "Jobs for America" plan.
