Ok, first, before I comment on part of this post, I want to ask why you didn't take off on KSigRC when he called voters "stupid" -- didn't you get on me about "the left" treating voters like they were stupid last week or so? Jeez, he flat out CALLED them stupid.

See, and maybe it's because I'm a little older, but when McCain says he's diving in to get his hands dirty with financial industry regulation (or lack thereof) and resulting bailouts, all I think of is.... Keating 5. So, not so presidential for me. He was slapped on the wrist for "bad judgment" back then and I haven't seen one thing in the last almost 20 years that shows his judgment's improved on this issue since then.
