I found this rather interesting. It is national market, but it looks like subprime has officially leaked into prime... more foreclosures are off prime loans than sub-prime http://norris.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/31/prime-foreclosures/
this 'leakage' into prime has been well underway for a few while now; prob a few quarters. JPM CEO Dimon said on last quarters earnings call (mid July) that prime was simply looking 'terrible'.

Dimon is pretty straight up. No reason to ignore a statement like that almost two months ago
I have said numerous times, this was never just a sub-prime problem. People were were given way more then ever could have afforded. How much will this cost? I thought we were close to a bottom?
Bottom, schbottom.
I'd like to see a compelling rebuttal to that. Please include exhaustive research and data points.
