If the economy goes into recession and voters become increasingly socio-economically insecure, than it is only just that the candidate (McCain) of the incumbent party (Republican) takes the electoral consequences
Bush is the incumbent Republican president. He's the 'Captain of the Ship', who has set the course, primarily with the backing of his party in Congress, these past seven years

"just" Yeah, I'm sure you'd say that if we had an incumbent Democratic president. So, if the economy is not doing well every member of the party holding the position of chief of state should be voted out, in the name of justice, right? For instance, if Britain would enter a recession every Labour politician in every position would deserve not to be elected? Or are you maybe being hypocritical?
