Just thinking out loud here …
But is another stock market crash, followed by civic unrest and an October of looting or rioting etc. the 2008 Republican version of an “October Surprise?” It’s a terrorist attack or a bin Laden video times 20. I don’t even understand the bailout vote well enough to know which party torpedoed the thing, but it occurs to me that the only way for a party so unpopular to stay in power is for something massive to happen akin to another war.
[Update: Everything is the Jews fault. And Nancy Pelosi. Who I always thought was Jewish, but she's not.]
[Update #2: Then again, organizations I respect and people I think are sharp on policy think the bailout was a dud. Can this thing be pulled left?]
