In November of 2008, I posed a question: will Jim Greer take down Charlie Crist?
With Governor Crist’s once seemingly inevitable Senate bid in dire straits and the the Republican Party of Florida publicly imploding before our eyes, it is time to revise and revisit this question.
Will cronyism take down Charlie Crist’s Senate campaign?

If the first day of the SEC’s Securities Lending and Short Sale Roundtable and today’s list of panelists are any indication, the SEC has no intention of curbing naked short selling.
Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi writes:
