<p>So you agree with the notion that if the surge never happened, then violence would’ve kept on escalating despite events such as the Awakening and ethnic segregation? A simple yes or no will do.</p>

<p>No, it looks like McCain realizes that neither he, Palin, Gramm, Fiorina, Davis, nor whoever else on that team of geniuses he has knows jack about the economy and his poll numbers are plummeting. Fact is that Obama called him earlier about issuing a joint, bipartisan message in order to calm public fears. McCain agreed, then sneakily stole Obama’s plan and tried to come off as magnanimous when he’s just really scared to death about having to debate Obama and being confronted on his history of deregulation. </p>
<p>Honestly, what does McCain hope to accomplish? He’s one of the economically-ignorant senators in Congress. Oh is that what’s been missing in this great catastrophe, the brilliant economic mind of John McCain? SuperMac to the rescue!</p>
<p>Does McCain honestly think he can call time outs if he ever becomes president? But hey, it’s not as if America ever has more than one problem at once!</p>
<p>My prediction is that McCain is trying to use this as leverage to delay the VP debates, because Palin’s latest interview with Katie Couric was god awful. The Republicans are trying to manipulate a genuine national crisis to cover up for their own dumb mistake of selecting a know-nothing like Palin.</p>
<p>McCain is exhibiting a core characteristic of hardcore Republicans: Cowardice. Nothing more.</p>
