McCain's latest move; brilliant or insane?

I'll admit that McCain likely needed to do something beyond ordinary campaigning, but this wasn't it.  Only if Obama had been stupid enough to agree to McCain's proposal could I see this as having any chance at being a positive for him.  The only reason I haven't adjusted my prediction yet for this is I'm uncertain how much damage McCain will take and my prediction was probably overstating Obama's strength anyway.

Nothing succeeds like success.

It has to work, however. 

But will there be enough time for a bailout to be shown to work, even if it does?  The only economic indicator that might show results quickly enough for people to believe it has worked before the election concludes is the stock market, and I can't see where we get a bull market that takes the Dow above 13,000 between now and November, even in the most optimistic of outcomes from the bailout.

BRILLIANT!!!

Not one person is going to say SCREW IT I'm not voting for McCain because of this......not gonna happen, period.

Actually, I've already said that it has been enough for me to change my own opinion from Strong McCain to Lean McCain.  The screw hasn't completely come undone, but it has been loosened. If I'd been Lean McCain, this would have been enough to cause me to drop my support of him.

Still, I agree this will have more effect on those who had not already reached a decision than to cause those who have already made one reconsider it.
