Who do you blame for bailout failure?
The U.S. House’s rejection of a $700 billion financial bailout plan on Monday, Sept. 29, had Republicans and Democrats shaking their fingers at each other and so far floundering around in an attempt to find a solution to the turmoil that has gripped the economy.
The House vote was 205 for and 228 against. It’s now possible that the House will take up a proposal again on Thursday, Oct. 2. There appears to be enough support in the U.S. Senate to pass a bailout plan but that wouldn’t make much difference if the House isn’t ready to give its OK.
Here’s your chance to assign blame for the House’s failure to act.

New poll: McCain, Obama deadlocked in Ohio
The presidential debate didn’t do anything to break the deadlock between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama in the race for Ohio’s 20 electoral votes.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll released on Monday, Sept. 29, showed McCain leading 48-47 percent among likely voters, a virtual tie. A similar poll in the middle of last week found McCain ahead 47-46 percent. The debate was on Friday, Sept. 26.
A week ago, McCain led 50-46 percent. Fifty five percent of likely voters have a favorable opinion of McCain; 52 percent have that opinion of Obama.

The poll was conducted on Sunday, Sept. 28, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
