... Joe Klein: "Perhaps, if he's really interested in this financial stuff, McCain

Washington, so they wouldn't have to stray far from the bailout
negotiations. I'm sure their fellow members of the Senate won't mind if
McCain and Obama spend a few hours enlightening the public on this
crucial subject." ...

... As you can see on the CNN.com Quick Vote, 71% of voters think McCain's announcement is "a political gimmick" and 24% see it as an actual effort to help the economy. Newt Gingrich sees it as an opportunity for Republican incumbents to worm out of debates and is urging congressional candidates to follow McCain's lead, something many have been doing anyway, trying their best to avoid answering embarrassing questions about rubber stamp voting records and huge "donations" from Big Oil and Big Banks followed by votes that clearly helped Big Oil and Big Banks and hurt average ...

McCain: Release the Hounds!
Politics Daily —
Filed under: Barack Obama, John McCain, Featured Stories, Sarah PalinWhat else is John McCain supposed to do? He can't win on the issues. He can't win using gimmicks.

Hey, when even Karl Rove declares that the Republican is about to lose the race, you know that said Republican will be getting busy with some Karl Rove tactics to try to cook up some panic. And so, this is how the final month of the campaign will play out. Like a faint, fading echo, McCain's promises to rise ...
