McCain Camp Reacts to Bailout Failure
by

Here’s the statement from McCain economic advisor Dough Holtz- Eakin, which I find pretty weak:

“From the minute John McCain suspended his campaign and arrived in Washington to address this crisis, he was attacked by the Democratic leadership: Senators Obama and Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others. Their partisan attacks were an effort to gain political advantage during a national economic crisis. By doing so, they put at risk the homes, livelihoods and savings of millions of American families.

“Barack Obama failed to lead, phoned it in, attacked John McCain, and refused to even say if he supported the final bill. “Just before the vote, when the outcome was still in doubt, Speaker Pelosi gave a strongly worded partisan speech and poisoned the outcome.

“This bill failed because Barack Obama and the Democrats put politics ahead of country.”

Considering most Republicans voted against the measure and McCain’s leadership didn’t get them on board, I don’t really see how McCain can gain much ground with this approach.
