McCain's latest move; brilliant or insane?

[cinyc]

McCain needs to shake things up in order to win the election, and, well, he's shaken things up again.  As with the Palin pick, only time will tell whether the move is brilliant or insane.

Brilliant.  It's his version of "I shall go to Korea."  He gets to look like a he's doing something.

If the bailout is adopted, McCain is the economic hero and a bipartisan.  If it fails, it's because Obama was too interested in his own ambitions to do the job to which he has been elected.

Does McCain really want to take credit for the bailout?

If things end up going well, yes.  If not, no.  Just like everything else.

Still Phil, how is this forum more pro-Obama than pro-McCain?  I think it's pretty even.

I think you only have to look at the first page of this thread to see that.

Not only that, all you have to look at is the stupid hack polls that have been posted recently, like "Should McCain and Palin just drop out?",  and the stupid hack post names for articles that are much more neutral than the names suggest.
