McCain has already stated that the PAULSON/BERNANKE BAILOUT SCHEME will not pass in the Senate, which is why he is headed back to craft a new one.

[beckysueb]

Not the same thing. Carter was already a failed president. Campaigning wouldn’t have helped him.

[mrsmel]

Yep, I do-Republicans-our higher power is God Almighty. The ‘rats-the power from down below. We know who wins in the end :)

[Wilder Effect]

Not good, but not hammered. We just have a different opinion on Intrades relevance.

You do not have to have a MBA or Financial licence to trade there. Any average Joe can trade there. which is good but makes it a emotional site. As we saw when they blew the Kerry/Bush race.

[Truthsearcher]

It’s the right thing to do, which is more important.

[Texas4ever]

We need to all contact McCain campaign....HE NEEDS TO GO TO WASHINGTON TONIGHT!!!!!

TONIGHT!!!!! GET TO WASHINGTON MCCAIN DADDY!

MSM already calling it a “Hail Mary” and “showboating”. This is going to be a disaster for McCain.

[rzn_republicans]

Really you would assume to know how good I’ve had it or not had it? How very enlightenting! Just watch and learn this is going to turn out to be a bad move!!!!

[ThomasMore]

This should have many of the MSM running around like a chicken with the head cut off.

I think this is a brilliant move by McCain...

[NoGrayZone]

I triple-dog dare the fake one to pull such a stunt.

When you make bad bets in Vegas, millions of innocent people don’t lose their retirement savings, their homes, their businesses and their jobs.

Genious! Obambi called him this AM to say they should make a joint statement supporting certain parts of the bailout and McCain spun him on his head and stripped the ball and ran for a touchdown. A bit dirty but hey it’s pres politics!

[LibLieSlayer]

Country FIRST... not you!

LLS

[beckysueb]

If thats true than McCain outsmarted the messiah. LOL

[MattAMiller]

This is just a mistake. McCain got off message when he let his campaign run with that ridiculous lipstick nonsense and he hasn’t really recovered. This won’t help and looks desperate. I don’t he is desperate at all but it looks that way.

[kabar]

Yes, there were Reps there. Shelby was there as well as the ranking members of the other committees and minority leaders.

"... everybody knows that it’s routine for Senators and Congresscritters to go on the campaign trail (if only for reelection) while continuing to do their jobs."

So this is no different then any other election? This trouble we now face is "routine"? It doesn't require any special attention from our elected officials? The fact the entire economy of the free world is at stake means to you, "business as usual"?

Are you paying attention at ALL?

[csivils]

The answer is simple...

SEND PALIN!!! Then it is a lose-lose for Obama.

[af_vet_rr]

He can show up for the debate, and look like an idiot standing alone at the podium while McCain has his sleeve rolled up in DC trying to solve the country’s problems.

Explain why he doesn't have time to debate Obama on Friday but he has time to give a speech at a Bill Clinton event on Thursday.
