After enjoying a post-convention bounce where he narrowed the gap in polls between himself and Barack Obama, McCain and his campaign have taken a pounding over the current financial crisis forcing them to take this unusual gamble. From some of his hand-picked supporters calling America a “nation of whiners” and suggesting there was no real crisis to acknowledging the crisis and approving the whopping $700 billion federal bailout of Wall Street, the current economic crisis has forced the McCain campaign to change positions more often than the model of a “DIY Kamasutra for Dummies” manual.
As much lack of understanding McCain showed of the current economic crisis, he has shown a penchant for rolling the dice and taking his chances politically when the chips are down (see: Sarah Palin). Is this a calculated move by the McCain campaign or a step born out of desperation? Will this move work in favor of McCain in the long term (i.e. the November elections)? What do you think?
