The market had already priced in the deal all last week, ignoring the Hill's histrionics, and Paulson and Bush were always adamant they were going to get a deal.

John McCain listened to all sides so he could help focus the debate on finding a bipartisan resolution that is in the interest...
...rule has declined, and has declined sharply." He cited Jackson, Miss., and Washington, D.C., as examples. "Not all black people are particularly bad people," the emperor adds. But leadership, he asserts, "is just not in their character ... it's just not in their ability." The Obama campaign did not return requests for comment...
