ANSWER: DAMIFINO

QUESTION: WHAT DO I MAKE OF TODAY’S VOTE ON THE BAILOUT?

What I do know is that the Democrats voted for it 141-94; Republicans opposed it 66-132.

What I do know is that the Democrats have a majority in the House; they could have passed the bill 235-198 if they were willing to accept ownership of the result.

What I do know is that the majority party is insisting that the minority party is responsible for the bill not passing.

What I do know is that the American people strongly opposed the bailout. And anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the NO votes came from congresscritters from contested districts.

Given that, it seems to me that the bailout was wisely rejected.

Next question: which Presidential candidate will step up to the plate?

UH, HUH

From INSTAPUNDIT:
A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: "Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working."

Tell me something I don’t know ....
