Just reported on MSNBC that McCain will be at the debate tonight, even though no deal is likely.
Richard Hohlt is one of only three lobbyists registered for Washington Mutual this year. Washington Mutual handles most of their own lobbying, but they still paid Holht over $36,000. Also listed among Hohlt’s clients are Fannie Mae and J.P. Morgan. Another interesting thing with Hohlt is that he is listed on McCain’s website as one […]
Sen. Shelby, the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, just told Rachael Maddow that he has a letter signed by 200 of the top economists in the country and they are begging for Congress to not rush into this plan.
