Eight weeks ago when we started this series, the economy was the major issue for voters and news of a Wall Street crisis and a possible bailout had just started. Now, a little over a week before the election, Congress has passed a $700 billion bailout package, the stock market has climbed and dipped like a roller coaster and financial watchers may officially declare a recession. We look at where the economy's changed and where it's stayed the same in voters' minds.
