Morning Hors D'oeuvres

Ben and Andrew have heard about Palin’s newest gaffe. Unreal.


Ben and Thrush’s piece on the politics of the bailout primes an interesting scenario … what if Obama swooped in now and actually did secure the votes? McCain leads, nothing happens. Obama leads, progress. It would obviously be risky, but at this point, it’s hard to imagine the next version of the bill NOT happening.


Andrew thinks the race broke open. I think that’s a little premature.


Nielsen has debate viewership at insane levels.


Marc covers the Atlantic’s changing electoral map, thinks McCain has a failure to communicate, and calls McCain on the carpet on “gotcha journalism.”


Matt and Ezra want to see the progressive response bill, pronto.


Ezra wonders about the toxic mixture of poisoned politics and poisoned economics … sounds like the kind of world in which McCain’s stopped watch is certainly not right, not even twice a day.


Nate sees only bad news for the Republican and thinks there’s no way the bailout failure looks good either.


Also, in another bit of awesome Liberal Dudes prognostication, Nate has the data that the overwhelming dissent for the bailout came from – wait for it – folks in close elections.
