We dodged a bullet with the first bailout being shot down in the House but we’re about to see it make it’s rounds in the Senate. What the bailout bill will be is not clear at this point. All that is clear is that they will be voting on some sort of bailout bill tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9PM. Michelle has all the details that we know of at...

John McCain and Barack Obama have both been playing it safe with the bailout bill. McCain ran back to Washington and tried to “move things along” and Obama stayed behind and blamed Bush for the failure in the first place after the bailout collapsed.

After all the brouhaha made by McCain over the country’s current financial situation, suspending his campaign and calling off Friday’s debate, has decided to go through with the debate after all. I could have guessed it was going to happen this way. McCain comes out the hero in both ways because he took the initiative on solving the bai...
