McCain proves he is another Bush

McCain avoided the one major break he could have made with Bush -- opposing the Wall Street rescue package. Going against Bush would have put voters on notice that McCain is a different kind of politician.

He would have helped himself immensely if he had opposed the bailout. All the elites were all arrayed against the American people. He would have been the populist champion standing up to them. He had an opportunity to be different from Bush. He wasn't because he isn't.
