Man, I could have a field day quoting from The Great Crash 1929 on "the fundamentals are strong".

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

Just got up from a nap.  The DOW is down only 200 and change.  What happened to mighty AIG?  The Squawkers seemed VERY concerned about it 3 hrs. ago.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Dow's down 254.  AIG's down 51%.  Are they not worried about AIG anymore or something?

Don't know.  TV on MSNBC.  Volume off so I can type.  Palin giving a LIVE speech while we see the stocks now down 250.  Is she telling everyone to PRAY for the DOW?

Isn't that how the financial system got in this state to start with?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

O retakes the lead in Virginia, 50-46, per SUSA.  Keeping in mind that SUSA tends to underestimate his performance in the South historically.

AT, I know you'll love this:

"But now suddenly, John McCain says he is about change, too. He even started using some of my lines. Suddenly he says he wants 'to turn the page.' He had an ad today that he started running that he and Gov. Palin would bring the change that we need. He had this in an advertisement. Sound familiar? Let me tell you something, instead of borrowing my lines he needs to borrow our ideas," Obama said.

He followed up with a dig on lobbyists, saying "if you think those lobbyists are working day and night for John McCain just to put themselves out of business, well then I've got a bridge to sell you up in Alaska."
