Looks like Hillary is getting out there in a bigger way. Good thing, since Bill seems hell bent on some other shit.
Ezra brings us his take on the NYTimes report that McCain campaign chief Rick Davis’s lobbying firm had contracts with Fannie and Freddie until a month ago:
“That is to say, the most powerful individual in McCain's campaign and the most powerful adviser in the planning of his presidency have been vacuuming in money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Try to square that with McCain's explanation of the crisis: 'There are certainly plenty of places to point fingers … The financial crisis we're living through today started with the corruption and manipulation of our home mortgage system. At the center of the problem were the lobbyists, politicians, and bureaucrats …'”
Unfortunately the following words from McCain were not “… who now run my campaign,” which would have been the most honest and accurate depiction of the situation.
McCain camp responds.
Ezra looks at the likelihood of McCain free-riding on the bailout. (That’s not like free-basing, for the record)
Matt shows us how much the economic situation could tilt things toward Obama.
Nate thinks someone is shorting Obama on Intrade to screw with the market and looks at another strong day of polling for Obama.
