Quin, I agree with most of your analysis here but I'm not sure
about the Obama vote. I suspect this is a lot like "comprehensive"
immigration reform: either they will all jump together or the
left-right coalition behind it will fly apart. Obama likes to vote
for things that pass overwhelmingly and if Obama votes against the
bailout I would think that's a sign it is cooked. I think
conservatives starting to peel off would also make it harder for
the deal to pass.
