36 and counting.......

The DOW was down some 700 points today. I thought first of my retirement fund and then the politics of it all. The House was split on the bail-out bill---Republicans voted "no" in most cases. Perhaps this will cast a dark cloud over the GOP and voters will think of their pocketbooks. If this becomes a campaign issue during the next 36 days, it may play into Obama's favor. Another thought is whether it's some big strategy or ploy to drag out the issue to make McCain a saviour who comes up with the plan to save the economy.
