I go after Grayson for shooting from the hip too much, but this is exactly the right thing to do. Democrats couldn't come up with a winning message? How about "Throw Some Bankers in Jail"? That's a winning message. Wanna run against Obama in states where you're vulnerable? Why not run against him from the left, at least on this issue?
I know what I said on the topic two weeks ago (good Lord, this thing is happening fast... http://zandarvts.blogspot.com/2010/09/turn-on-lights-watch-roaches-scatter_29.html ), but come on, Donks, Jesus.
The Republicans (short of their state AGs) are silent on the issue. The GOP would have to do a double-backflip jackknife to a swan perfect on the first try to get onto any sort of message that would play outside their base, and doing that would royally piss off the Tea Party.
This crisis is going to be truly awful. At least beat the GOP up with it and win some goddamned votes.

Sigh, yeah. They're probably hoping Big Daddy Bankster will stop being mad about the Finance Reform law and come home, come on hoooome....
Dumbasses. I bet you a $10M check cashed by American Crossroads was signed "Brian Moynihan."
