TGIF

Well, folks, it looks like tonight's debate IS gonna happen! McCain says he'll be there, even though there's no financial bailout deal yet.  Yesterday, in fact, was quite amazing.

AP: "it was hard to tell who had suffered a worse evening, Bush or McCain."

Any article with the line "it was a remarkably bad day for Republicans" in the first paragraph is going to pique my interest: [...]

Both parties are scrambling today to come up with something.  It's not easy, with many reports from members of Congress that the phone calls and emails are running 100 to 1 AGAINST any kind of bailout. So, they work all weekend and get some kind of deal, vote to approve it, and effectively guarantee a lot of votes against them in any future campaign.
