McCain ignores bailout questions

Posted: Monday, September 29, 2008 3:31 PM by Carrie Dann

From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy
When McCain boarded his campaign plane with Rob Portman in preparation for his flight to Des Moines, just as the bailout legislation was defeated on the House floor, he ignored questions shouted by reporters from under the wing about the fate of the bill.

It's unclear if he could hear the questions, but when he heard reporters shouting his name he turned and waved.

Pelsoi can't blame this one on Republicans. She's the leader, and she called the vote. She takes the heat for this one.

When only 30% of republicans vote for a clearly partisan bill endorsed by the republican commander in chief, you most certainly can blame the republicans.
The rest of us will show them blame by voting them out.
