I honestly believe if McCain had come out strongly against the initial $400 billion stimulus, the race would’ve gone to McCain, or at minimum been far, far closer than it was. As it was, with both sides agreeing on what was the biggest issue of the day, people saw no reason to vote for old, staid McCain vs. young, fresh Obama.

At the very least McLame should have said “THIS CAN WAIT 6 WEEKS UNTIL THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER to avoid making it a political issue”
But McLame was ... lame.. on the issue

Just imagine if McCain would have voted against it. We wouldn’t be in the mess we are in right now because Obama would have also voted against it. He would have had to. That is why when they took the vote, McCain went first.
McCain could have changed the way this whole bailout and world economy outlook. I know that sounds crazy but it is the truth.
