If you consider this as a pick up basket ball (someone already compared it. I am just extending on it), we are in second quarter. I think Mccain is saving his energy for the 4th quarter (Oct16-Nov 4). By that time, Fed will do something to get the economy back. O’man would have bled all his money in Florida and in PA,MI, WI to defend. He would be literally broke. At that time, Palin will cover O’man one on one and McCain will make some easy lay ups. Biden will call a non-existent time out. Palin will make a technical free throw at the last minute (She actually did it in a match during her play days). I think McCain is leaving O by himself to self-destruct.
He’s not waiting for 4th quarter IMHO, he’s waiting for the debate. In the meantime BHO is scoring some points by making Fannie and Freddie Republican problems but that could come back to haunt him in the debate which is the next time the nation will be watching.
McCain can then use BHO’s own words in front of a national audience to show how BHO is trying to spin this crisis for political gain while he (McCain) is ready to take on both parties for reform and has been trying to do that since 2006.
