McCain should force O'Bama to make some statement on ACORN right now. He will either support ACORN or he won't. If he does then he will be hung with ACORN which is gaining odium very rapidly but probably not fast enough to make Hussein deny them this soon. If he disdains ACORN then his ties to ACORN need to be trumpeted as loudly and expensively as possible. This is lousy campaigning but McCain has handed the one sure thing he had to the opposition.

McCain should have strongly opposed the "bailout" and fought it out based on freemarket principles. This bailout is going rotten so fast that everyone prominent who touched it is finished politically, except O'Bama and the real socialists and charlatans in Congress. Hussein supported bailout but no one heard that because he just sort of shuffled his feet and said yeah, sure. Hussein is smarter than any of these other prominent pols. He is smart but he is a Marxist and his goals do NOT include prosperity. His goal is the total collapse of Capitalism and its replacement with Socialism. He just doesn't want his fingers on the corpse as it is kicked off the cliff by the Interveners including, most glaringly because of his pivotal role in getting it passed, Senator John McCain.

I think McCain can save himself in this regard by opposing and further bailouts. He can rightfully say that the bailout has not had the intended consequences and that more time must be allowed for the first bailout to work it’s way through the system.
