Dick Morris is absolutelyy right. McCain can win the election by siding with House Republicans. While endorsing the House GOP's alternative to the bailout proposal, he could at the same time applaud the mavericks of both parties in the House who sided with the people rather than the bankers and their bought congressional leaders. Regrettably, it looks like the invisible government of bankers has more influence over McCain than the government of the people. Judging by the debate, it looks like both McCain and Obama have made a pragmatic agreement to do the bidding of the powerful banking community.
Nevertheless, as Morris said, it is not too late for McCain to do the right thing, and in siding with the majority of Americans in both parties he could also give Palin some great ammo for her debate Thursday night.
A "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" moment is within McCain's grasp. He can seize it or remain in the grip of the Washington establishment while his maverick image fades to nothing.
