avaya said:It should be called the European rebound because us, the French, Germans and Austrians just outlined over $2trillion to bailout European firms along with guarantees on interbank lending.
The Lamonster said:Why would they? Because the DOW is rebounding? I don't see what the grounds would be for this claim, unless McCain really does whip Obama's booty in the debate (lol).
Just as I read this I noticed that Drudge updated his links to omit yesterday's Gallup article showing McCain's mini-comeback. Guess today's three-point swing in Obama's favor doesn't fit the narrative and as such it is gone.Y2Kev said:I'm fine with how Yahoo phrases it-- "McCain seeks rebound." I mean, who wouldn't? But "McCain rebounding!" with the evidence that he's gained 1 pt in Rasmussen (already tilted to favor him and he's still getting whooped) and that he's no longer going to negatively campaign (before threatening that Obama is going to take away secret voting rights :lol ) is as much bonk as the whole "suspending the campaign" nonsense.

Why not? It worked back in June when Bush lifted the executive ban on oil drilling. Right after he did that, oil prices started to go down, and some tried to spin it that Bush talking about more U.S. drilling was the reason.lawblob said:Maybe McCain will go all mavericky and claim the market rebounded because of his proposal to buy up individual mortgages?

Hitokage said:It's funny how the House GOP's initial blockage of the bailout allowed somebody to covertly insert the option of the Stock Injection plan, and now the Treasury is focusing on that instead of the original toxic buyout pitch.
Much like how their attempts at establishing a "permanent Republican majority" ended up ceding the nation to the Democrats, it's an absolute marvel how these things have turned out.
Indeed, whoever did it is a hero.JCreasy said:YES.
I've been dying to find out who added that in but I can't find it anywhere.
Krugman should've won the Nobel Prize for pointing out weeks ago that Paulson was a foot-dragger blinded by ideology. Trade theory what?Hitokage said:It's funny how the House GOP's initial blockage of the bailout allowed somebody to covertly insert the option of the Stock Injection plan, and now the Treasury is focusing on that instead of the original toxic buyout pitch.
Pray tell why? Not to say that the markets might not dip tomorrow, but a united global effort to grease the credit wheels is a huge thing.artredis1980 said:dont be fooled by a 900+ bounce today, tommorow the market will fall again
Sounds fair to me. Everyone knows that tax and spend liberals are going to crush businesses, big and small alike with their fiscally unsound policies. So, even though they hadn't had a chance to screw anything up yet, investors knew what was coming.lawblob said:Thats what I love about many of the talk radio right wingnuts, they know so little about the market that they assign cause & effect to market swings to whatever political narrative they are trying to sell, and their listeners eat the shit up. Reminds me of a Fox News segment the day after Democrats took back the Senate, the host actually tried arguing the market was down that day because the Democrats won the night before. :lol
Wasn't the stock injection program mentioned as being a good option in last week's "This American Life" credit crisis episode?Hitokage said:Indeed, whoever did it is a hero.
soul creator said:
It was mentioned as a good thing by economists like Krugman and Delong when the bailout was first proposed. Just no one thought there was any political movement towards it, or that the language would somehow slip in to the final bill and that Paulson would actually utilize it.omgimaninja said:Wasn't the stock injection program mentioned as being a good option in last week's "This American Life" credit crisis episode?
Eh, McCain was holding his own just making the experience argument and talking about how Obama will raise taxes, things didn't actually get bad for him until he picked Gov. Folksy, the stock market crashed, and his campaign became erratic.JCreasy said:Listen, McCain has nothing if he doesn't go negative. Nothing. IF he had a substantive argument he believed in, he would have made it already. He went negative because he didn't have anything.
Tomorrow stocks will likely plunge once again, as investors fear Obama's socialist government, and then on Wednesday the Maverick himself will save the economy again.thekad said:This is like the third time McCain has saved the economy in just the past few weeks. What a maverick.

Fragamemnon said:Honestly, this strikes me as big of a deal as the other annoucements in Obama's speech:
This bill is a huge deal, I always knew that Obama would support it if it came to his desk, but I'm glad he's taking the time to say so now, in the heat of the campaign.

Hi god, please do what I want you to or you'll be considered a loser of god. Your status as an all-knowing and all-powerful entity with a plan for this world notwithstanding.
If by "international countries" you mean "John McCain and Sarah Palin, America's most respected Mavericks" then you'd be correct.Jason's Ultimatum said:I figured the stock market got a bump was because of the speculation of international countries meeting with each other to fix the economic crisis.
lopaz said:So why is this Drudge guy so influential? His website is pretty much a link collection with flashing lights.
lol If the Dow is up, it's because of McCain's comeback, if it's down it's because of Obamanomics. McCain changes his messages on a daily basis and still seems to be wrong every time.Saint Gregory said:All this 1000 rebound does is kill the McCain camp's new argument that the markets were tanking in response to an Obama presidency. Obama still sailing high in the polls and the markets surge - the McCain camp can't win for losing.

I think that's an hour and 20 minutes from now, though.Tonight, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, the latest polling data from Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia will be released. All five states were carried by Republicans four years ago but have become battleground states this year.
