NBC News just told me there's a deal on the bailout. NY Times reports it, too.
It's been a crazy couple weeks on the campaign. Today is a big day on the shows. McCain and Obama are doing appearances.
McCain took the easy route and is appearing on ABC. Will George dare to ask McCain about his odd, angry demeanor at the debate? Will George dare to ask McCain about his erratic behavior? I doubt it. I think George is afraid of McCain.
Obama is appearing with Scheiffer. Barack has been the steady one. McCain is a lot older and has been around a lot longer (as he kept reminding us during the debate), but Obama has been the candidate acting like a president, not like a kid with ADD.
Bill Clinton is on "Meet." It's become pretty clear he's quite fond of Palin. He "get[s] why she’s hot out there.” Of course he does. But, Democrats are trying to keep the focus on the presidential race and electing Barack Obama.
NBC also has the Colorado Senate candidates.
