It was an assumption on my part based on prior interactions.
That’s why the old saw about assume rings true.
Shermy and I were commiserating that if McCain had come out table thumping against the Bailout, triangulated away from Obama and Bush/Pelosi/Paulson/Reid, he could have established a real differential.
But WhatIf’s are amusing, that’s all.

Exactly what I thought. Had McCain back the House GOP to the hilt, things might have been different.
But I don’t know that McCain would have been much better, given the way he caves to liberal democrats, and trashes Republicans of a conservative stripe.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. McCain lost the election on September 15th, 2008 in my view.
