The timing of the crash/bailout deserves study. Could it have been coincidence? Sure.

I suspect that if McCain had voted against the bailout, that he would have won this election. But he panicked and mortgaged our future, like the rest of the RINOs. On ecomomics the only difference between Obama's economic plan and McCains, was that Obama had a plan.

McCain’s entire history was too much like Obama’s. When the coal bankruptcy stuff hit, the libs were able to say, “McCain supports the same thing.” That was the story time and again: Coulter has an article on it today.

McCain was a liberal, and it was hard for him to get distinguished from Obama. And what did it get him: bupkis.

McCain didn’t vote against the bailout, because at heart he’s a liberal, and his first impulse was to use the government.

I thought he was going to. He went to D.C., talked to the House Republicans, who had a plan that did not require taxpayer money. And could've stood on principle on an issue that 80-90% of Americans opposed. But no...he had to quit being the maverick just at that crucial time. And he had the perfect opportunity to announce it too - in the 3rd debate. Instead, he and Obama just copied each other.
