....ref. post I made last night under hobie's message announcing McCain's 'suspension.'
As I asked Jack last night, "what scintilla bit of difference would McCain's input and much less, VOTE, on this bill, make??" He hasn't been there for anything else since his campaign took off!! And Obama hasn't been there since he took office....
AND, as I said in another post last week, the "throw the bums out" mentality is going to cause a lot of political casualties in the Congress. Here in Illinois, it's a pretty sure bet that John Shimkus isn't going to be our representative any more. And he's got some young whipper-snapper (who's actually a brilliant young man, I've heard him speak, he's not idealistic but very, very realistic and connected to the disenfranchised here) running against him. What kind of embarrassment would THAT be?? Ol Shimkus getting ass-whooped by a 28-year-old. Ha.
Suspension of the election is PERFECT. EVERYBODY in Washington wins.
And isn't that what it's all about? That they win, and we lose? Sure.

: Timely post, Billy.
: I was in the process of preparing a post on the "campaign
: suspension" announcement by McCain, so I will just
: shorten it and say the following
: Bush-McCain-Obama know the obvious, there is no need to
: campaign anyway. Follow along--
: The official word from the administration is that the
: "bailout for wall street" must occur by Oct 1,
: which just coincidentally happens to be the first day of
: the new US Corporate Government's fiscal year, when the
: financial system must conform to the new Basel agreement..
: Congress has balked at the size of the bailout, which though
: touted at $700B, is has a good chance of exceeding $14
: Trillion. (the number spoken by Bernanke under
: questioning)....However some have ventured numbers more
: than 100 times the latter, or 1000 Trillion. Such numbers
: boggle the imagination.
: Congress will continue to "negotiate" read
: "delay" the bill because of the vast public
: outcry from us peons, "forcing" an "October
: Surprise" from Herr Bush that elections are suspended
: until further notice. This announcement will occur around
: the first week of October, as sure as God made little green
: apples..
: Because-- even congress- facing the lowest approval rating in
: history, don't want elections either, and their excuse will
: be-- Hey--we did not have time to campaign because "we
: were working for you..."
