The bailout plan was opposed by about 50% of the public as of today. After the stock market crashes and Americans realize just how serious our economic situation is that will change dramatically and to Obama and the Dems benefit with plenty of help from their friends in the drive-by media. This whole fiasco could not have come at a worse time.

House Republicans should have followed the lead of John McCain and George Bush instead of going for what seemed at the time the path of least resistance in regards to the voters. Now we will have to do some serious triage in order to save John McCain's presidential run.

Considering the gravity of the situation, I see McCain as having no choice but to publicly admonish the Republicans in Congress who voted against this bill in the hopes of distancing himself from the anger that will be visited upon them over the next several weeks. McCain is known for being a maverick so he may just be able to pull it off.

House Republicans should have followed the lead of John McCain and George Bush - and the Democrats? -

Bush's negative approval is only exceeded by that of congress. How is it effective for McCain to get right in bed with the corrupt socialists who got us into this. McCain should have opposed the bill and offered a market based alternative that maintains accountability for irresponsible lenders AND BORROWERS. He still has time, but not much.
