So McCain's in D.C. today. What is he doing?

[cali]

He's not part of the negotiations between Congessional repubs and dems, as I understand it.

McCain is foolishly squandering the remaining precious days before the election, opting for political stuntsmanship rather than stumping. And where's his maverick vp choice? It's less than 5 weeks to the election. Mr. Gamble-It-All is blowing it.

1. He's campaigning. He's going to lose OH, FL, PA, MI, NH, VA, NC

so why not make a play for DC's 3 electoral votes?

2. He's a joke. Congress is doing its job, and even the REAL Preznit

isn't there.

3. Kissing banking lobbyists' asses would be my guess. nt

4. Grandstanding and napping. What else can grandpa do? n/t

5. he's going to try to claim victory in resolving the bailout talks, which

are resuming today in dc

so.....

we need to NOT GET COMPLACENT

[cali]

7. he can't do it. And nothing in my post had anything to do with being complacent.

The dems have the ability to keep him from claiming credit. In any case, it's too late for him to be able to do so. He blew his shot at that.

11. it's not reality that counts

it's how rethugs lie and spin

voters believe lies

that's a proven neuro-cognitive fact

the bailout is still being worked out

of course we know mcacain did not help zip

but he'll SAY he did

and claim that

13. They've been trying to spin McCain's stunt since this happened.

And that was what, Wednesday? His numbers have tanked since!

6. Watching reruns of "McHale's Navy". nt

[Bucky]

8. Negotiate? HA! He's suspending negotiations till this crisis is solved.

In this time of national crisis, there's no place for partisan negotiations. We must suspend all Congressional activity until McCain can lead us to fixing this crises.

9. Poor Barney Frank. He was so sure they were rid of pesty McCain

[H2O Man]

10. Sleeping. n/t

12. Stirin' up shit

[BlueIdaho]

14. He's shoring up his base

Meeting with K street lobbyists assuring them he's still on the take no matter what he says during the next 35 days.
