The bailout mess should have been a great opportunity for John McCain to trumpet his dissatisfaction with special interests and the status quo on Wall Street and in Washington, D.C. Instead, his odds of winning the presidency have plummeted with the stock market.

According to our guest Alan Murray, deputy managing editor of the Wall Street Journal, McCain has so far failed to harness momentum from the bailout mess and run with it. In fact, Murray says, Barack Obama now appears the more presidential of the two candidates. As Congress frantically pushes for another bailout effort -- and with only a month left until the Nov. 4 general election -- time is running out for McCain.

I sense a stunt coming. Sarah Palin is going to field dress a bull on Broad Street while McCain bungi jumps from the roof of the Stock exchange!
 
McCain has been a buffoon. First, he does the whole "parachuting into Washington" thing, then doesn't say a thing when he & Obama get together with Bush. He makes a big deal about how Obama is on the sidelines & ridicules him for "monitoring" the situation, while his surrogates tell everyone "McCain doesn't phone it in," but it turns out, that's exactly what he did all weekend: phone it in, literally, on the phone talking to congressional colleagues.

Then, he & his surrogates do a victory lap on Sunday & Monday, saying how he "brought everyone to the table" to get 'er done, but when the vote comes, his own party bails on him.

After which, of course, he blames Obama for injecting "partisan rancor" into the discussion.

Every day is like a new adventure with him. I can't wait for the next move.
