Maybe. Or if LB was saved, maybe some of the other investment banks would have failed and caused a similar meltdown.

I think the bigger issue is that the Dems and Reps are now permanently in bed with Wall Street and big corporations (despite what they say when not in power), so I don't think it matters much who wins anymore. Be nice to see a legitimate third party, but the only ones talking about that are far-right and far-left types, not to mention it's very difficult for a third party to get on the ballot in every state.
