I think McCain's sensitive point on this is that he had his own problems as one of the "Keating 5" and was able to come back. I think he feels he earned forgiveness and that it shouldn't be a fair criticism anymore. It seems to make sense of why he is such a zealot about campaign finance reform.
This situation plays into those sympathies.

Understood, but this was as low as he could go; particularly when he had planned to be campaigning in person with W over the next few days.
Anyone know if that's still happening?
I wouldn't think that Bush would presently share a forum with him. Because of McCain, this issue now has to play itself out first. Maybe W shouldn't have counted on him, but this was clearly a low blow by McCain.
