Obama and Biden have done a terrific job painting with a broad brush and blaming deregulation in general for this mess. That's not the truth, but it's good enough for "Joe Sixpack and hockey moms" (tm Palin). McCain for the most part has been forced onto the defense, having to answer for his changing views on regulation and deregulation. "Joe Sixpack and hockey moms" are reading it right, you are reading it wrong. Meanwhile, it astounds me that only the minority party in Congress is going to take the fall for this. I don't care if the majority party has only been the majority for two years. That's two years they wasted doing nothing but blame the other side for all of the nation's troubles. You are acting like the recent economic disaster happened in isolation. People were trashing the Republican well before the economy fell apart. It's been a consistent record of total incompetence, not one issue. It's rational. That's why I think McCain has to turn the tables on Obama with regard to the financial crisis. McCain has little to lose anyway, so why shouldn't he fight fire with fire? Point out every instance of a congressional representative opposing reform and accepting the status quo for their own electability. Maxine Waters is an obvious target, but what about Raines and even Dodd himself? So you want him to attack specific Dem Senators in his debate with Obama? And not mention bad Rep Senators? What? Listen, McCain is running the most sleazy campaign I've ever seen in my life. It makes me sick to see how far this country has sunk. And this at the start of what could be the next great depression. So go ahead and nuance how you don't blame the Republican party for their incompetence. But so far the American people are not buying it. Now maybe you guys can win by selling fear and the most base instincts, but if you do we all lose.
