The Washington Post 's E.J. Dionne:
I can't believe how small a role our economic crisis is playing in the campaign coverage and in the back-and-forth between the candidates. Who is at fault here? Am I more worried about our economy than I should be? And do you think the economic discussion will eventually trump everything else in the campaign?
Yeah, it would be a good idea to remind voters that as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae tank, Obama took $127,000 in campain contributions from them.
Yeah, that tidbit would totally blow the economic coverage wide open! Finally, millions of Americans would have the beginning of an answer to their economic woes! God damn those rascally campaign contributions!
TDC, your dedication to viewing political coverage through the narrowest possible lens is simply astounding.

Well, unlike people like you and EJ Dionne I dont get paid for it ... its just a hobby for me. Or did you think that the present banking meltdown would somehow not be used by the campains?
