I am of the opinion that McCain would’ve gotten steamrolled either way. If he announced his opposition to the bailout, the press would’ve simply run with the standard “Republicans Starve Babies.”

I certainly agree with you.

In view of your objectivity, perhaps you can clarify the position of those who blame McCain for not being sufficiently conservative thus suggesting that many conservatives either failed to vote or voted for the Messiah.

Enabling the election of the Messiah thus increasing the power of the liberal establishment seems to border on insanity.

yeah, babies on wall street. come on, it would have been a winner. But it wouldn’t be enough to simply oppose the bailout. He would have to support the Pence/newt plan.

I will agree with you...If obama had suspended his campaign, and not McCain, we would have heard from MSM “McCain goes on Letterman while ECONOMY tanks...McCain laughs it out while population in the unemployment lines…blab la bla”

McCain was in a losing position, the MSM wanted to elect its first Black President....that’s it...

McCain could have walked on water...would make no difference...MSM was a +10% for Obama in this election...thats it..

They did that to Reagan too, and he stuck to his principles and ran circles around them and won.
