McCain broke up nothing; there was nothing to break up. I just wrote this on another thread, it bears repeating here: the reason this POS plan didn't sail through yesterday is due to the fact that no one bothered to get any House Republicans on board. Why is that important, when there is a majority of Dems in the House? Because they are all up for re-election in little more than a month, the folks back home are burning down the phone lines telling them not to vote for the Paulson plan. They remember what happened to reps who voted against the wishes of their constituents, ie., Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, who let Clinton con her into being the tie-breaking vote for his first budget, and Dave McCurdy, who let Clinton talk him into voting for his crime bill. They both lost their seats.
There are not enough House Dems willing to risk it and they need the Republicans for cover votes, it's as simple as that.
Think again FRiend. I do not know the details of what happened in the White House cabinet room. What I do know is that Obama would not have been there TO BLOW IT if McCain had not gone off his campaign. ( Obama was supposed to tie McCAin up and keep him busy outside of Washington, he failed). Harry Reid was in an absolute tizzy that McCain showed up, like a pedophile caught in a kids bedroom with his pants down. What a bunch of sick crooks he and Barney Franks are.
Whatever. McCain is the spoiler here, and I wish him and his Conservative Group every success at ending the ACORN/ LAZAR socialist boondoggle move to convert our economy to community service rather than profit.
