Bailout or No Bailout?
I get the sense that opinions on any kind of bailout, or rescue plan, of Wall Street run the gamit around here, whether you are a Republican or Democrat, whether you are a liberal, moderate or conservative. It is much like the immigration issue, where there really was never any unified Democratic v. Republican stance […]
Lee is feeling burned
NBC 10 is out with its own poll on Delaware’s gubernatorial race this morning, and its findings confirm the SurveyUSA and FDU/PM polls also released this week.

Top 10 REAL Reasons McCain Wants to Skip the Debate
This thread suggested by a loyal reader (not sure yet if he wants the credit) and starts the reasons: 10. I have to wax all 13 cars that night. 9. I found a set of house keys, and I have to try them out in each of my 8 to 12 houses. 8. 9/11 7. […]

Tomorrow
Tomorrow is going to be a bad day on Wall Street. A week ago, on Monday and Tuesday of last week, it was noted somewhere (and I can’t remember where) that the market was 500 trades away from a 4,000 point loss. That is a massive crash. The market rose today on optimism about a […]
McCain Has Not Suspended His Campaign
And Jeffrey Toobin calls Bullshit on the media nonsense of the day: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVsOpwjY53E[/youtube] Good for him. I wrote NPR for being bamboozled by this earlier today. This campaign is not suspended if your VP nominee is campaigning at Ground Zero, if you are appearing at scheduled events in the morning, and showing up on all […]
McCain’s Last Minute Deal Breaking Plan (UPDATED)
For 26 years, John McCain was a deregulator. When it became obvious that deregulation was in part or mostly responsible for the money market meltdown, last week John McCain revised history and became the universe’s greatest regulator and champion for the working people. And now, at the least minute, when a bipartisan deal was imminent, […]

Some interesting new data from the AJC. Critical: Regarding the vice-presidential candidates, 73 percent of American Jews “approve” of Obama’s selection of Sen. Joseph Biden as his running mate, 15 percent “disapprove,” and 13 percent are “not sure.” In contrast, 54 percent of American Jews “disapprove” of McCain’s selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as his […]
I’m curious
If McCain doesn’t attend the debate tomorrow what will he be doing instead? For that matter, what is he doing tonight?
