Yep! We’ll have to ride this out for a few days. McCain wasted a lot of time blaming generic “Wall Street greed” for the meltdown, when he should have been blaming Franklin Raines, Dodd, Schumer, Barney Frank, and others for the crisis. He slipped back into his old mode of “working with the Democrats to solve the problem” rather than noting that the Democrats caused the problem in the first place.
He seems to have turned that around today in his campaign speeches, but he’ll have to go on the attack now in a series of TV ads. This should have been done two days ago, but fortunately it’s not too late to get them up and running now.
Exactly. Three news cycles were lost trying to be all statesman-like. Meanwhile the chitown thug was hammering him.
How’d that work? Time to get back on the attack.
