Please don't let Obama influence you, he has that talent. McCain WILL win and he has to appease the left in order to win (hint hint). Dont worry we will put America back on its track. God Bless America and Freeeeeeeeeeeeedom.

No egg at all on anyones face except Bush, Pelosi and Reid and the folks that were trying to force feed that deal down our throats.
The deal was not finished at all. Most sources indicate the Democrats announced the ill fated deal to preempt McCains arrival. The deal quickly evaporated before McCain arrived because, as he said, it did not have bipartisan support. The house Republicans were never going to go along. They are now working on an alternative plan.
McCain did help move things along. His presence, unlike Obama’s, was productive.
McCain was right to give this problem the attention it deserves.
Weather or not the solution will be more than patch work remains to be seen.
Few people have noticed he did not say they would solve the problem overnight. Pushes to do that are idiotic. We should not be pushed into socializing the entire mortgage industry.
It’s now been shown that the deal Bush and the Dem leadership were supporting would also give massive subsidies and a large chunk of potential profits that should go back to tax payers into the hands of ACORN. Hey, isn’t that an organization tied to voter fraud, and directly involved in many of the causes of this crisis, and oh yeah Obama and the Dems fingers are all over that supposed “non-partisan” organization.

No, there is no egg on my face, just a great big smile. McCain stepped up to the plate and hit the ball. It remains to be seen if it's a home-run or just a base run. But at least he was/is willing to take a stand and it doesn't matter to him if its popular or not. Obama on the other hand won't even step up to the plate unless he's ordered there. I can't hardly wait to see McCain wipe the floor with him tonight.

I'll answer No but I think you gave your own self an answer, two paragraphs ago.

No. He's damned by these people no matter what he does or doesn't do. Let's wait and see how this all plays out.

Nobody wants to give these corporations 700 billion dollars. The republican plan may be cheaper and more popular, but it also has a greater chance of failing to save the corporations. This is a legitimate debate. From what I read, the Republicans were on board with the administrations/democrats plan initially. It seems like McCain interjected himself into this process late in the day to derail it only to score political points, which is fine, that is what presidential politics is about. Except the stakes are way too high for this type of political grandstanding

McCain made matters worse not only by wrecking the process to get a bipartisan bill but he is giving a voice to a bill that will make matters worse. The insurance idea will make it easier for companies to fleece the taxpayer.

No… I had a hunch he would be at the debates anyway… as far as grandstanding… maybe that was what he was thinking and maybe not… we don’t know for sure what was in his head.. for all we know it could have been for the sake of him being a Senator and trying to do his job… who are we to judge what his true motives were for “rushing” off to D.C…. Personally, I am not going to hold it against him nor am I going to be embarassed by it…

I think the only one with egg on their face is McCain himself.

His stunt did not work, his supporters are now seeing who/what he is and today there are fewer "undecided" voters than at this time last week.

Thanks to the Bush Administration, the American voter will no longer be duped by such political grandstanding.

Thank you for the thought out question. Finally somebody. Of course no egg on anyone's face. The man went there and did his job as a U.S. Senator. He showed up suited and ready to take on the issue at hand. True to himself and his word always. These folks are going to spin ANY and EVERY thing he does (albeit poorly) to serve their own purposes. They wouldn't dare see anything beyond the periphery of their own view and will villify anyone that opposes them.
