Reply #26: "The fact that the Republicans, including McCain, were against that plan should tell us something." [View All]

As far as I know, McCain has played his cards close to his vest and said nothing one way or the other. Do you have any source that says otherwise?

My take is that McCain will come out for the renegade Republican version of the bill, thereby gaining populist cred, and leaving Obama in the same room with Bush. We're being outplayed right now, and need to stick a stake into this bill's heart right now. WALK AWAY!

For God sakes, the Dems caved to public pressure on off-shore drilling. It would be supremely ironic if this is the thing they take a principled stand on.
