The defeat by design of the bailout plan engineered by Pelosi and crew led to these poor polling numbers for McCain.
Now the dems will ride to the rescue and try to pass the original version of the bill on a party line vote.
I don’t think Pelosi is that smart, she (and Obama) just got lucky.
Now the GOP completely owns every single panic or bank failure which happens in the next week or two. After all, they voted against the bailout.
Of course, everybody on Wall St is convinced the bailout is going to pass in some shape or form. But now the dems can batter McCain with all the bad economic news for as long as they want.
Watch it, they will try to get themselves 60 Senators out of it.
