TW: admittedly it was an easy prediction but McCain is doing more or less exactly as I predicted, headed to Oxford now that he has set Congress straight...
From Dick Morris (amoral political consultant nutbag, former Bill Clinton advisor, Hillary Clinton hater, McCain sycophant, and toe sucker {yes he was the one busted in 1996 with the callgirl}):
"McCain has transformed a minority in both houses of Congress and a losing position in the polls into the key role in the bailout package, the main man around whom the final package will take shape. He arrived in Washington to find the Democrats working with the Bush Administration to pass an unpopular $700 billion bailout. The Democrats had already cut their deal with Bush. The Dems agreed to the price tag while Bush agreed to special aid to families facing foreclosure, equity for the taxpayers, and limits on executive compensation. But no sooner had McCain arrived than he derailed the deal...By Monday, at the latest, the Democrats have to cave in and pass the Republican version. They don’t dare pass their own without GOP support, so they will have to cave in to the Republican version.Then McCain comes out of the process as the hero who made it happen when the president couldn’t and Obama wouldn’t. He becomes the bailout expert."
