He gets out of the debate, where he'd look like a sick old man next to obama.
He looked like a leader in his press conference
He can now almost label this bailout "The Bush/Obama Bailout"
It's a bold move.
Its something...and it will show alot of things,
McCain can break with the president.........he does,more so then Obama and his party, but that gets very little play

It makes Obama say stupid crap like he's on call
