Roy Blunt Throws McCain Under The Bus

Chaos in the Republican Party.

REP. ROY BLUNT: Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizing.

The Obama campaign's response:

"Congressman Blunt just confirmed what's been clear since John McCain rode into Washington at the eleventh hour – Senator McCain's political theatrics succeeded only in stopping a bipartisan deal. During the most serious economic crisis of our time, we don't need erratic posturing, we need steady leadership to protect American taxpayers and put our economy back on track," said Obama-Biden spokesman Bill Burton.

The guy is a drama queen. It's all about him.

What an embarrassment.

...Just to add, Republicans certainly want to reconstitute their party, but I don't think they want to do it with John McCain at the helm. We're starting to see rumblings from conservatives feeling uneasy about Sarah Palin and even calling for her to be dropped from the ticket. In many ways they'd be thrilled with McCain voting the other way on this. Republicans are BETTER in the opposition, and it would be a cleaner way for them to reconstitute themselves.
