In this clip from tpmtv of MSNBC's Morning Joe earlier this week, John McCain showed a rare moment of uncertainty . . . about the economy. With 75% of Americans believing the country is in a recession, McCain may or may not agree with them depending on the precise definition of the term.

McCain used the words "technically," "imagine," and "questions" among economists before NOT answering the question and instead feeling the pain of the Americans who are hurting.
