PJM Political provides a midweek snapshot of a crucial election week: two days after a spectacular Wall Street meltdown and one day before the critical vice presidential debate:

• Allen Barton, the host of Pajamas Media’s PJTV online video network talks with Nicole Gelinas from the Manhattan Institute on why the government’s bailout bill failed to pass on Monday–along with a forecast of additional financial carnage to come.
• Brian C. Anderson, the editor of City Journal magazine, discusses his new book A Manifesto for Media Freedom–focusing on whether the Fairness Doctrine will be descending upon AM talk radio.
• James Lileks and Roger Kimball each provide their iconoclastic perspectives on the bailout.
• Rick Moran, Pajamas’ Chicago editor and PJM Political host Steve Green, forecast Thursday’s debate.
• Produced by Ed Driscoll.

Tune in to Pajamas’ new PJTV channel for plenty of additional Wall Street and Washington coverage throughout the week.  If you missed any previous episodes of PJM Political, click here and scroll through for hours of audio archives.
