The Republicans held their convention September 1-4, 2008. (As for what they said,
here is a link to the google search for transcripts. Click on it and follow some of the links if you want, I don't care; I didn't.)
Three days later, on September 7, 2008,

It was then the GOPers began talking about the
suddenly bad economy. In fact, you may remember that John McCain put on a show about suspending his campaign to do something.
Many people had been trying to get the GOP-controlled media to say something--
anything--about how bad the economy was long before that.
According to

Which brings us to the meat of this post: people who
did talk about the economy. Below are a few links to some of the speeches from the DNC 2008, arranged in order of appearance.
Enjoy.
