A flash from Crikey’s Guy Rundle now in New York:
Crazy days world collapsing … In the midtown manhattan bars all the talk is of world financial instruments which no longer work … yr correspondent recorded an episode of insight last night and when the strongest mccain supporter there said the economy was sound he was almost assaulted … however despite wishful thinking no sign of a real bump in obama’s support becos he can’t seal the deal … Nyt has nu poll showing a rise in enthusiasm for obama but not actual poll support … A sign of desperate wishful thinking everywhere … on the bars of the lower east side where obama support runs 90 per cent all r drinking koolaid … He can’t run a negative campaign they bleat … He’s obama …. Ah yes dat is da problem … clintons awol, obama only half there can biden win this election for us all?
