McCain simply looked foolish when he suspended the campaign, flew to Washington, and accomplished...nothing.

Gee, the little fat guy who appears on FOX as a guest thought it was a stroke of genius.

A real killing blow was when he "suspended his campaign to rush back to Washington", cancelled his Letterman appearance and then went to another TV show in the same building. Letterman rightfully ridiculed him for that.

He would have been better off if he had been completely for the bailout. He would have been better off if he had been completely against the bailout. He would have even been better off if he had ignored the bailout. Instead he just looked panicky and innefective.

"McCain simply looked foolish when he suspended the campaign, flew to Washington, and accomplished...nothing."

It was a huge Drama Queen moment for McCain.
