WALLACE: Does Senator McCain really believe that, that this country is worse off than we were four years ago?
DAVIS: Sure, all along the trail, John McCain campaigns around real people. He goes to town halls, he hears what they have to say to him. You don’t have to be in very many town halls, Chris, to understand that people are pinched by the increase in gas prices, they’re losing jobs because of some downturn in manufacturing, and the economy as a whole has been very hard on the American family. That’s what John McCain’s referring to. He doesn’t have to go very far every day to find those kind of examples.[..]
WALLACE: Given that, if the country’s worse off, isn’t both the President and John McCain, aren’t they both responsible?
Davis is Rick Davis, one of the 2 heads of McCain's campaign and a former lobbyist, so this is about the best we can get from these folks:
DAVIS: Well, look, if you want to talk about history, then you can make all the cases you want to make.
WALLACE: You’re talking about history, you’re talking about the last four years.

WALLACE: But I got to come back at you. If you say the country is worse off than it was four years ago, clearly, the President has to bear some of the responsibility and by his own record, by his own admission, John McCain voted with the President, last year 95% of the time.
