McCain's Political Theater?
| Wed, 09-24-2008 - 3:39pm |
I think McCain's "suspension" of his campaign to go to DC and sit around while Congress hammers out a bailout plan is just political theater. I am not sure that McCain's presence is required at all. He will need to vote on a bill either way, but he can fly in, vote and be back on the trail. Also, I think postponing the debate is another political stunt. You know, "country first." Our country's representatives cannot work on this program without McCain and his campaign lobbyists sitting there sounds a bit ridiculous. I think this political theater will play well to the base, but I think it makes McCain look like he cannot multi-task well enough to campaign then go vote on a bill.

I love Nancy - she's my REP!!
I think it is a sign of intelligence to be able to listen to a bunch of
But wait a minute, I thought McCain = Bush. And this is Bush's plan and aren't most Democrats for the plan?
everything about what???
Look at the headline the day after McCain crashed back into Washington, D.C.

This is not a coincidence. McCain isn't supporting the bipartisan plan. He's crashing around. Just like he crashed around when he declared in effect his support for the Republican of Georgia when Russia invaded and just like when he picked Palin. More risky moves from McCain.
Here is a decent editorial:
"McCain gambles that bailout meeting will be seen as good judgment"
