Well folks, as you sit down with your morning cup of coffee and you prepare to delve into the financial headlines you might want to pour a stiff shot of something to sweeten that coffee, that is if you can afford the price of a good bottle of liquor. Here’s a round of the early [...]

If the predictions are on the money, the signs are all there for a trainwreck for the GOP, come November…
Chris Cillizza has pieced it all together on The Fix, noting “a column from Stu Rothenberg who, along with former Fix boss Charlie Cook stands atop the congressional handicapping game in Washington, in which Stu declares [...]

As most of you have picked up over the months I’ve been in campaigns one way or another since the mid-sixties. (Yes, that dates me a bit but I’m a lot younger than Clint Eastwood and I still wouldn’t tangle with him in a dark alley so 59 doesn’t seem so old to me.)
I’ve lived [...]

Bill Clinton was on the stump today doing some “powerful campaigning in Florida for the first time on Obama’s behalf.” Clinton, Greg Sargent reports on TPM, “laid out an interesting argument against McCain-Palin, claiming that the economy will consume so much of the new president’s attention that the Veep will be forced to play a [...]

You gotta love John Kerry…
Here we are not only in the midst of a critical Presidential and Congressional election season, but now America is in a deep financial crisis. Money is tight for so many Americans right now, but Kerry gets just how important this election is.
So what does Kerry do?
He pony’s up 1 Million [...]

Two days after the Bail Out Bill failed in the House, the Senate plans to vote on the “$700 billion bank rescue plan,” on Wednesday evening. The Senate Bill “adds new provisions - including raising the FDIC insurance cap to $250,000 from $100,000 - and will be attached to an existing revenue bill that the [...]

Leadership has to be one of the key issues we face today as voters. Certainly most DemDaily readers are supporting Obama. There are some that do not. Here is the except of a very interesting Time magazine article about leadership and the reaction of the American Public. I just heard Chis Matthews say that what [...]

Gawddamn.
After nearly two weeks of screwing the pooch, from a communications point of view, all the reporters today are using the ‘Recovery Plan’ language because the Leadership, as demonstrated by Senator Kerry this morning, in Congress is doing the same thing.
It’s about time since this is all an effort to help the economy and banking [...]

John Kerry had at it with Bill O’Reilly on The Factor last night (h/t News Hounds) on the issue of the economic crisis. Watch it here:
This afternoon, Kerry held a press conference to outline the urgency of passing comprehensive economic legislation to avoid the collapse of Wall Street from hitting families and business across the [...]

There’s a lot of finger pointing going on in the wake of the Bail Out Bill failure in the House today (see Roll Call vote here).
Barack Obama said today that “he believed Congress would ultimately pass a proposed $700 billion financial bailout deal, despite its initial rejection by the House of Representatives.”
“I’m confident that we’re going [...]

While these pics say as much as anything else, if you have watched the developments all day today you can only believe that both of these days are wandering in a daze.
Bush sounded, as Chis Matthew said, unschooled and a little scary talking about panic etc.
