McCain apparently didn't help negotiations
much today. By all press accounts now, the meeting blew up and even Secretary Hank Paulson is concerned the bailout may fall apart. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalra...nopoulo-6.html
Apparently, in political theater, John McCain has now sided with House Republicans and after an entire WEEK wasn't familiar with the terms of the 3 page Paulson plan. Some in the meeting said McCain only spoke briefly and in broad general terms and added nothing of detail. Despite that, he apparently decided it was time for a "new plan".
Maybe Obama was right about not interjecting Presidential politics into serious negotiations about the economic crisis at hand.
