Just saw the answer to why $700 billion for the bailout, as opposed to $100 billion, or a trillon, or whatever:
“It’s not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. “We just wanted to choose a really large number.”
We know we know: The ploy John McCain announced minutes ago to suspend his campaign (and postpone Friday’s debate) is a gambit that signals a campaign in deep trouble.

In the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll Obama has opened up an impressive 52 to 43 lead over John McCain among likely voters. Hott! Just after the Republican convention it was McCain 49, Obama 47.
