This makes no sense. If the deal is so certain, why don't people (those who don't own BSC bonds) just short BSC and long equivalent amount of JPM. It's risk free money.

It traded above $2 all day. Closed at $4.81. It seems that the shareholders are not going to accept the deal. Either they are in denial, or something else is at play. Probably they're betting on a real Fed bailout. If the Fed doesn't, then they'll vote down the deal and bring the whole market...

This is so funny

Never mind a female lobbyist. McCain dated a female stripper, by his own admission. Not that it was necessarily wrong. Just reflection of his bad taste in women.

CNN botched the whole story. The real story was that Kissinger complained to Mao that communist China was not allowing people to freely leave the country. Mao countered that if the US would accept the 100 million Chinese who wanted to immigrate, then China would gladly free its borders to let...

ROFLMAO Thanks for the laugh. BTW, you don't even know "the minds of the greatest scientists," let alone that of "God."

It's Clinton's fault.

What world are you from? Any reporter who substitutes his/her opinion for facts should be booted. Anyone not interested in facts can go watch Fox.

Fox is doing their usual trick: Except this time they may be right. :D

Hehehe He had to bus in his supporters to stuff the room so he doesn't get booed to badly. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1966565/posts

They are now swiftboating McCain: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/01/15/independent_group_attacks_mcca.html Where was McCain when Kerry was swiftboated? Of course he didn't speak up because he was not a Democrat. McCain doesn't know history. "In Germany, they came first...

Last I checked, it was America that voted in the primaries, not the media. And McCain didn't get more positive media coverage than any of the other candidates - he was declared "dead man walking" by the media last fall. BTW, the media was super friendly to grandpa Fred but that didn't seem to...

Simple. ET is not representative of America. It's on the political fringe. America wants a Democrat in the Whitehouse so badly, that they are nominating two Democrats - one from each party, for the general election.

Educate us then, why in the former Soviet Union and in China before 1990's, there were no taxes? Taxes were only imposed after both became true capitalist countries. Even today China still doesn't have an income tax. Why don't you move to China?

Will get higher, pretty soon. It's a lagging indicator anyway.

Aren't we seeing a lot of data mining bias here?

I don't think Clinton gets over 30%.

You raised two points in two sentences. Both are groundless. How was data "cherry picked?" How was the study "designed" to prove the author's point? And if it is just as easy for a "conservative group" to do a similar thing, show us.

Is this a trick question? :D

Romney, the other "moderate" GOP candidate:
