to be honest, i belive the repubs set up mccain as a fall guy...they looted wall street, stole billions w/ the bailout, all because they knew the next 4 years are going to be a nightmare.. they gave the american people the big fuck you and will lay low for 4 years while they leave dems to clean up the mess.
