1. I'm likin' the news today!

Big swing, good momentum, and a bona-fide crisis that has forced the campaign back to the issues.

Is a good day, ya?

2. Good day for the campaign..... bad day for many Americans who will lose their jobs and/or savings

Hopefully, President Obama can turn it around.

3. Well, yeah

I was thinking specifically about the poll numbers, but the financial crisis does play in.

We do have to remember that lots of people are hurting because of this... not all of them are Wall St. power players.

National polls (Diageo, Rasmussen, Gallup, Research 2000, ARG, Reuters) conducted 9/11-16 give a median of Obama leading by 2.0 +/- 1.1%, a 4-point swing toward Obama compared with McCain’s post-convention peak last week. However, it’s not clear what this means for the race. Just as McCain’s bounce was disproportionately concentrated in red states, this “unbounce” might also not be evenly distributed. We won’t know until next week.
