You mean she never once asked the question most people fear - "Why?" to anything being discussed at the meetings she did attend.

Poor McCain has LOST IT~

You'd think that with such a super duper plan McCain would be out stumping and swinging and proclaiming his solution, but noooooooooo instead we see this nutball calling for a time-out!

Is this what he calls grace under fire? I'd sure hate to be standing between him and the door when someone yells fire!

A reporter should ask these clowns why they think McCain's plan will work, when it clearly didn't work way back when it was called "Bush's plan."

Erwin needs to get his facts straight. Franklin Raines is not and has never been an advisor to Sen. Obama.

You would think that once the mcCain campaign has the facts pointed out to them, they wouldn't trot out otherwise respected people, prepped with statements that they may not realize, but the campaign CERTAINLY realizes, are untrue.

And I am also not surprised that McCain supporters, even nominal Democratswho now support McCain, would prefer McCain's plan. Wow. Cutting edge political reporting going on here. Further news flash, wealthy supporters of republican candidate prefer their taxes stay low while the rest of the population struggles with higher fees and taxes.

Shocker.

Wow, that's kind of surprising -- that McCain supporters would say his plan is better than Obama's. Gosh, go figure.

And one of 'em has helpfully pointed out that "someone suggested" a slur against the character of an economic advisor tied in the past to Obama.

It's sure swell of these guys to agree to a conference call with reporters to spread this important, unbiased, uninterested advice on an issue that has folks on the verge of a national freak out.

Good thing politics isn't involved, or we might have to be cautious about our sources.
