What Went Wrong: Great Article on Fannie and the Subprime Crisis

Maetenloch sends this, confessing he's still working his way through it, as I am (just began).

I'm linking before finishing because it seems critical.

Once I'm further along I'll quote from it.

Allow me a moment of defeatism. It remains incomprehensible to me that McCain let this slip past, and with that, his lead in the election.

This ad and other great ones are being placed by the American Issues Project. I keep seeing it on Fox -- I sure hope they're advertising on CNN, because I don't think Fox viewers need to know this.

If I could vote for this advocacy group, I would.
