Great job covering the campaigns the last week or two. It’s been an amazing series of events, with Wall St. and Washington competing for top billing. Although Palin’s performance in the media was certainly a major factor influencing the polls, I believe John McCain’s actions in D.C. had a more incredulous reaction. Certainly the combination of things made more moderate or independent thinking people wonder about McCain’s leadership abilities.

One subject that we’ve missed here is the incredible irony of the debate taking place on Capitol hill during the Bailout talks. I can’t stop talking about how it is the Republicans in the House who are the hold outs for a deal, and how McCain has played a role in politicizing the whole process. I know it’s been talked about in the media, but not nearly to the extent that I’d imagine, given the remarkable turn of events.
