Kevin Drum - Mother Jones Blog: Nightmare on Main Street

"AlixPartners LLP, a Michigan-based turnaround consulting firm, estimates that 25.8% of 182 large retailers it tracks are at significant risk of filing for bankruptcy or facing financial distress in 2009 or 2010."

How bad is this? Let Me quote from this brief article, again: "Lawrence Gottlieb, a New York bankruptcy attorney at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP says that only two retailers have successfully emerged from bankruptcy proceedings since the amendments to the code were passed."

Hmm... E-commerce, anyone?
