Wow, is Boehner pulling the country's economy down on himself? Sure, the plan was flawed, but the Wall Street reaction is pretty scary.
Politically, this has to be a big blow for McCain. Politico reported that just before the vote he was basically crowing about how he saved the country and Barack played politics. He's been prematurely declaring victory a lot lately.
I wasn't digging the bill as voted on, so maybe this will give them a chance to do something a bit more reasonable.
What I am digging though is that the bill's failure equals McCain's failure. He made such a big to do out of working the phones to get Repub support, no matter what you think of the bill, he looks pretty weak for not being able to rally his own troops. Nice.
