...think the election itself is going to continue to be the greatest political drama of our lifetimes. I've never seen a political year like this. I've never seen one with so many surprises. McCain rises from the ashes. Obama says nothing is inevitable. What a year! What a drama...
...think McCain suspended his campaign for the good of the bailout, or do you think it was a political stunt? It is the sort of thing that does look too cute by half.

Only one player remained relatively restrained in the aftermath of the defeat, which led to a 777-point free fall for the Dow Jones industrial average, the largest single point drop in history, and a market loss...
