Deal reached!

CNN Breaking News: "Lawmakers from both parties in House, Senate say they have bailout deal; will take it to Treasury Secretary Paulson."

I guess this means there'll be a debate tomorrow, after all? Sweet!

Now, watch as McCain claims credit for a deal that was going to happen anyway (and that his stunt may actually have briefly jeopardized), and grandstands about "suspending" his campaign and "putting country first," even though he didn't actually suspend a damn thing, and his motives for pretending to "suspend" his campaign were mostly political anyway. [How dare you say such a thing about a P.O.W.? -ed. I say it because it's obviously true.]

But, hey! A deal! And a debate! (Presumably.) Yay!

P.S. If there's a debate tomorrow, there will be a liveblog & livechat here, as during the conventions.
