Can the Dems get to 60? (tv)
Last week John Nichols’ cover story looked at the potential for the Democrats to get to 60 seats in the Senate, and asks an audacious question: if they do get to 60 can they govern? And how?

The program airs live Monday October 20th at 1-2PM est/10-11AM local time. Listen locally on 88.5FM San Francisco/88.3FM Sacramento, or online at kqed.org. -

William Greider and the bailout (print, radio)
The Nation’s Bill Greider has been on top of the bailout all week. Today (Wednesday 10/1) Greider discussed the bailout with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now . Watch the video and read the transcript here. Last week David Brooks cited Greider for his leading commentary from the left and it’s potential impact on the debate:
Liberals and conservatives generally dislike the plan. William Greider of The Nation writes: “If Wall Street gets away with this, it will represent an historic swindle of the American public — all sugar for the villains, lasting pain and damage for the victims.” He approvingly quotes the conservative economist Christopher Whalen of Institutional Risk Analytics: “The joyous reception from Congressional Democrats to Paulson’s latest massive bailout proposal smells an awful lot like yet another corporatist love fest between Washington’s one-party government and the Sell Side investment banks.”
Thanks to their criticism, the plan will be pinned back. Oversight will be put in place.
