Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
John McCain's low road to the White House is now using the president to scare
Americans and obscure the facts of an economic rescue plan, writes Katrina
vanden Heuvel. http://www.thenation.com/blogs/edcut/364132
Desperate to cast McCain as a functional player as his poll numbers tank, John
Nichols adds, the White House is subverting Congress's work on the bailout for
a Rose Garden photo op. http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters/364328

McCain Major Meltdown
Adam Howard | Now the McCain camp says it wants to postpone the

cram? http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion/363981/mccain_s_major_meltdown
