Maverick or just unstable?

McCain suspends his campaign. Then unsuspends it. He won't debate. Then he will.

McCain insists on being part of a meeting on the financial crisis at the White House, and then says very little, because he really doesn't understand what's going on, and to him it is not as important as his campaign. Later he admits he knew before hand the meeting was doomed.

He picks Snow Job Barbie to be his running mate, whose greatest qualification is that she can see Russia from her home town in Alaska. Three times now, with Charlie Gibson, Sean Hannity, and with Katy Couric, Sarah Palin has looked and acted like someone uninformed and not overly interested in complicated matters.

Kinda like McCain.

McCain was part of deregulating the banking industry, now grumps that without rules, they tried to make more money! He wants to deregulate insurance and health care in the same way. Still.

McCain said and did things this last week that seems to make it more obvious that he is being run by Bush people and lobbyists for the finance industry that McCain was once supposed to oversee.

McCain is also gambling. Making ill-thought out and sudden moves, hoping, like any obsessive gambler, that there will be a sudden turn of luck if he does something impulsive.

McCain would be dangerous as president.
