Republicans still shouting “regular order”. Dems still refusing to close the vote.

"I wonder who the one Republican No Vote is? (McCain?)"

This is the House, not the Senate.

You are witnessing one of the best political maneuvers of all time!

George W Bush and Team McCain lured the Dems into this trap and it just snapped shut!

Why did GWB appoint a lifetime Democrat like Henry Paulson to be Treasury Secretary when he knew that a mortgage financial crisis was likely?

George Bush has one great personal flaw that has cost him dearly over time: he believes himself to be a good judge of character, when in fact, he is a very poor one. Vladimir Putin. Harriet Miers. Alberto Gonzales. Henry Paulson.

See a pattern here?

This statement scares me to death......do you not realize that this is the House and McCain is in the Senate.

IT WAS down 700- we can expect it to be very volatile- regardless of the vote.

I should have sold off Friday, but no, I didn’t think the GOP was really going to push us over a cliff.
