McCain can emerge “the reigning expert on bailouts, then can take the tax issue to Obama…”

Sixty-three percent of voters worry Congress was about to botch the rescue of the country’s troubled financial markets, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national poll. Dick Morris thinks that makes John McCain’s move brilliant and makes him the main man who will dictate the shape of the final package. The biggest reason, and what has Democrats do damned mad now is they know how unpopular the bailout is so they are not about to pass anything without broad Republican support, and Republicans will look to their standard bearer for his nod or it is a “no-go.”

Only 30% of U.S. voters think the federal government should step in to rescue the country’s troubled financial markets. Half (50%) say let the companies  who got themselves into the mess go bankrupt.

The deal Democrats were about to OK and Bush says he’d support was a real stinker and voters sensed it. McCain now stands at the very center of an emerging compromise. By Monday, at the latest, the Democrats will cave in and pass the McCain-Republican version and McCain will emerge once more a national hero and flagellates Obama too.

Dick Morris says McCain emerges “the reigning expert on bailouts, then can take the tax issue to Obama, saying that a tax increase, such as the Democrat is pushing, would destroy the bailout, ruin the economy, and trigger a collapse.” McCain has an enormouse advantage that he should start to  exploit at tonight’s debates saying — the deal was bad for America, and I knew it and went to Washington to do my job; stop it and built a beter mousetrap, and I’m flying back tonight to do that.
