I agree with Morris 100%.

McCain is doing everything wrong.
He needs to take a free market stance on the economy and set himself apart from Bush and 0bama, for the taxpayers, against government expansion.

That is his only chance to win.
He should recognize the fact now that he has already lost.
He’s a dead man walking.
There is no ‘safe path’ for him.
And he has nothing to lose by showing some guts.

He needs to call out the Democrats who have been in Fannie and Freddie’s back pockets by name. He needs to drop the ‘earmark’ nonsense and go after the real corruption in Washington, the wholesale looting of the national treasury.

I agree, it’s almost like he wants to lose.

[ajwharton]

Simple: McCain is an idiot. Plain and simple. He would rather be "bi-partisan" (whatever that is) than President. And he shall get his wish.

I hate him.

[avacado]

If I hear McCain call himself a reformer one more time I am going to barf/scream/start drinking heavily.

His “Big Dance” day is here and he’s too busy in the men’s room with his cajones stuck in his zipper.

[stevestras]

Yea, yea.

I suppose you think it’s still going to be Hillary vs. Condi in the Presidential race.

He needs to drop the ‘earmark’ nonsense and go after the real corruption in Washington, the wholesale looting of the national treasury.

Current events make 'earmarks' look pretty trivial don't they. I agree, that McCain's only chance now is to champion free market alternatives to the bailout in whatever form. Many such interventions exist, and some might actually solve underlying problems while preserving the peoples' freedom.

Freedom. When was the last time we heard this word from either candidate? Ever? I can't recall.

[a real Sheila]

So why doesn’t he? Why WON’T HE?
Why WON’T OTHER REPUBLICANS point this out?
Why did Bush just lay down and let Pelosi Galore run all over him with her hate speech yesterday? Why didn’t Bush address the reasons for this mess when he addressed the country this morning.

It makes me wonder how just how much ALL members of Congress ended up fattening their wallets during the time when $$$ were being made from these bad loans being written. I think they all have something to hide.

[henkster]

McCain blew it Friday night on the 2nd question of the debate.
“Do you support the bailout bill.”

It was a hanging curveball. Instead of saying clearly “here’s what I support” and going with the already on the table market based republican alternative, he hem-hawed around.

It was a hanging curveball; he should have sat on it and then smoked it into the bleachers. Instead, he swung feebly and missed.

I hate to say it but McCain could have won the election on this issue. He choked.

[God luvs America]

I agree 1000000%.....

I am sick and tired of Republicans fighting like they are little girls...
