Could you explain that?
neo said cause traders don't think it will do much, but then why did the DOW plummet 400 points when it was vetoed the first time? Furthermore, why was the DOW up 250 before the bill was voted on... and down 200 after it finally passed?

The traders already knew it was going to pass on the day the market bumped up app. 450pts.
That was the effect of the bill that was going to pass in the next 48hrs....people who get their news and intel from the MSM are always behind

Yeah John McCain must be really questioning himself now that he went for a bill filled with pork spending and it didn't even work. This guy has nothing to go on now.

Yes he did vote for the bailout, but atleast he isn't running on a major platform that was against pork spending and this bill is the mother of all pork spending. Therefore McCain has absolutely nothing to run on now.
