if the bailout fails they will blame the democrats for pushing the deal through

[spanone]

you know it....regardless of how many rethuglicons vote for it.

damned either way

1. Nah, Bush owns it.

Especially after he went on national Teevee and demanded it. The R's can try to run away from * and his policies, but nobody's going to buy it.

2. It's nothing but a "protection racket" on a grand scale.

Anyone who thinks that a $700 billion bribe will keep them from playing more havoc in the derivatives markets (oil, housing, commodities) and running amok in the banking system is delusional.

[MiniMe]

3. They won't vote on it unless they have widespread republican votes

The dems are playing this one wisely.
