Let's summarize:

Several conservative columnists come out in opposition to Palin, and note that the selection of Palin reflects very poorly on McCain himself and on his judgment (or lack thereof)

One of McCain's top advisors implies that McCain invented the Blackberry

McCain's top economic advisor flatly states that Palin is not qualified to run HP

McCain's top economic advisor, in an attempt to correct the record, later notes that it isn't a big deal, because she doesn't think McCain could run HP either (or Obama or Biden, but we assume she already thinks Obama and Biden can't do it)

McCain suggests that the "fundamentals of the economy are strong." He later tries to clarify by saying he meant the American worker is strong, but nobody believes him.

McCain says part of the answer to the economic crisis is to form a 9/11 type commission. It sounds shallow and superficial.

McCain v.2008 then says regulation is the answer, once again turning on McCain v.2000.

Palin is nowhere to be found, and isn't included on McCain's commercials of late (possibly due to her 10 point favorability drop in a 3 day period, or due to the fact that she has no idea what people are talking about with the economy).

Nice.
McCain claims tax cuts increase tax revenue.

McCain's top economic adviser says he doesn't really mean that.

McCain's other economic adviser invented that stinkin' theory.

Yeah, I'd say McCain's a little clueless on the economy.

Remember back a couple of years ... McCain said the fundamentals of our economy were sound, and was ridiculed* for it? Unemployment was at 6.1%.

Fast-forward to today: "President Barack Obama said Monday the nation's economy is in good shape for the long term thanks to 'core strengths'". Unemployment is at 10.2%.

If McCain invented it, wouldn't it have been called the Prickly Pear?

Given his age, perhaps McCain invented the steam engine?
