McCain's Brilliant Move: Derailing the Bailout
Posted by Ted Keer on 9/26, 1:01pm
This sounds like a relative win-win. From DickMorris.com:

Knowing how unpopular the bailout is with the American people, the Democrats are not about to pass anything without broad Republican support even though their majorities permit them to act alone. Instead of signing on with the Democratic/Bush package, the House Republicans are insisting on replacing the purchase of corporate debt with loans to companies and insurance paid for by the companies, not by the taxpayers. That, of course, is a popular position. McCain would be comfortable to debate this issue division all day. And, if the Dems don't cave into the Republican position, that's probably exactly what he'll do on Friday night's scheduled debate in Mississippi.
