Via GottaLaff, here's some Thom Hartmann wisdom from today:
This could be the October Surprise: If we end up with a Bush/Reid/Pelosi bill, and if Obama ums and ahs down the middle on it, and if McCain becomes the champion against CEOs, it will be a rock around Obama's neck. And that could sink him. And it would be a disaster.
I couldn't agree more. The whole notion of anything bearing the label "Bush/Reid/Pelosi" makes me want to break something. Something big. But if my hunch is correct, Senator Obama will spend the next six weeks outflanking McCain when it comes to this bailout. I just don't think McCain can sell himself on the economy. Meanwhile, Senator Obama will probably follow Senator Dodd's lead on the bailout -- or vice versa.
ADDING: Thom Hartmann has been predicting this financial meltdown, and its similarity to the early days of the Depression, since at least February 2006.
