I agree and thought the same thing.
McCain will keep them guessing if he’s showing up until the last minute, and then when he does, it’s going to be a huge event.

And the topic is foreign policy.

But the real coup for McCain will be if he manages to swoop in and take the lead for the GOP in renegotiating a totally new plan that outlaws all standing Credit Default Swaps retroactively, rescinds Sarbanes-Oxley, and trust-busts some of these huge companies like AIG that have become “too big to fail.”

My prediction is McCain heads to D.C. tomorrow and starts working with the Senate to craft a plan. Negotiations continue into Friday and at the last possible minute he hops a plane to Oxford for the debate. No deal is completed by the time he leaves. McCain does the debate and then hops a plane back to D.C. and an agreement is reached on Saturday or Sunday. In the mean time Obama does interviews on Friday night and campaigns on Saturday and Sunday, looking completely out of touch. Republicans push for McCain to be their spokesman on the agreement and he looks like he is in charge while the Democrats whine that it is political posturing.AWB

Yep AIG is considered too big to fail.

You put that at the very end, but that point really caught my eye. Maybe too many companies are too big to fail because of the economic devastation if they do fail. Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, etc. are very big companies. And there are huge companies not related to the stock market/mortgage meltdown problems. Suppose Exxon hit hard times. Is Exxon too big to fail? As much as the Dems. hate oil companies, would they let Exxon fail if it got in trouble in the future?
