They did not know this, but could have guessed

Michael Barone notes that the GOP candidates didn't know that the markets would collapse in 2008, or they would have campaigned differently.

Since I seemed to have guessed it, so could they.  The warning signs were there.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda ain't no excuse.  It was possible to run on the possibility.  Not that you would have been believed, though.

In the end, it wouldn't have made a difference.  The nominating conventions were over by the time the markets collapsed.
