If You Pull a Dramatic Move, It Has to Be Transparent

Sen. McCain's bold move -- suspending his campaign to save America -- is starting to backfire. Already news is out that, while the Senator was far too busy to campaign, he did have time to address the Clinton Global Initiative and give an interview to Katie Couric. Additionally, the reaction from Washington has been a resounding, "Huh?" Doesn't seem like anybody really thinks he is that necessary to the process and Sen. McCain didn't help things much by admitting that he did not even read the Fed's proposed plan. (Memo: If you say you are reacting to an emergency, you have to act like it is an emergency.)

If in fact a deal is already imminent (which was the news this morning), McCain's attempt to change the script is gonna blow up on him.
