Newt tells it like it is - McCain Roadmap
Here is the link - Newt brings up good points

This is what we get with a running RINO....big government solutions to problems caused by big government....
The words of a run-of-the-mill senator when what America needed was the actions of a president.
Gingrich is absolutely right. Failing corrective action, McCain stands to have lost the election with this fumble alone.
If McCain had opposed the bill and it still had passed he would be sitting in the cat bird’s seat. Tonight he could say to Obama, “you just spent 700 billion of the taxpayer’s money and the economy is still tanking. Is this what we can expect from an Obama presidency?”
Instead he can’t say a thing. He’s going to lose.
... Both McCain and Obama voted for the bailout.
So only McCain gets hurt by embracing the bailout? Makes no sense.
What does make sense is for McCain to blame this mess on dems like Obama. That is a winning strategy.
To prevent duplication, please do not alter the title. Thanks.
I hope the exchange goes something along these lines:
Obama says he proposed legislation on 2005 to avert the crisis. McCain or someone attending the event asks “What bill number was it?”
Obama would either state S-190 where his name does not appear or he would stutter and say something stupid or off topic - not answering the question and revealing himself to be the village idiot, er, I mean community organizer, that he really is.
Wasn’t today’s stock market rally an endorsement of Bush/Paulson? Oops never mind.
Guys, respectfully, I made this point here today and in my small, local blog. Sen. McCain can have the best of all worlds. He sends Sarah Palin out to make this argument. She’s the outsider. She skewers Obama and Biden. Does she end up inplicating Sen. McCain also? Of course. But he has the advantage of saying- “hey that’s why I picked her. She’s the voice of the people. Some times guys like Biden, Obama and I are tone deaf- that’s why I want Ms. Palin shouting in my ear. That’s why she has a seat with me in the Oval Office.”
Sarah can turn up the juice- she’s the only outsider in the race.
Bingo. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. McCain really needs to step up to the plate tonight and take the Marxist Onada down. But will he be the same tepid man we saw at the first debate? I guess we’ll know if the Senator really understands he is in a fight for the nation’s soul.
Oh, as far as Newt is concerned, I lost respect for the man when he folded like a cheap camera over the illegal taping incident in FL (I think). And he was the person who was illegally taped.
Not to mention that what he was overheard saying was a big hohum anyway. Ya gotta be from the beltway to understand these things I guess.
Newt lost me when he came out as a true believer in global warming.
Oh yes, and that too.
