Gaming McCain’s Game
Some people think the McCain bailout/debate maneuvering has positioned him to trap Obama:
McCain's way out? – First Read – msnbc.com.
So what if McCain shows up and tonight and says, ""I'm
sorry I couldn't sign on to this Washington-Wall Street plan that I
worried was putting an even bigger burden on taxpayers than this mess
already has. Now, Sen. Obama, I understand that you are confident in
these folks in Washington and New York who have everyone convinced this
is the only plan. And I respect that, but I am hearing from people all
over the country who don't get this plan and don't understand how it
will work. And why should they trust a group of folks in Washington and
New York who broke this system to fix it?"

So here:
Obama:
"Nobody seems to have any idea what your position is on this plan—a plan that we'll be living with for a generation. So…were you not for it before you were not against it? Are you going to decide what your position is in the next fifteen seconds?"
Checkmate.
