1. GREAT point!!!

2. it really does seem like this would be a devastating ad

It would demonstrate perfectly what a drama queen McCain is being right now--and, of course, how uncaring he was during Katrina. Both aspects of the point you're making would be hugely damaging.

An ad like this very well might go down in history as The End of his campaign if it's done right and given lots of air time.

3. and also, if Congress is able to agree to a plan to "bail" out wall street, then

it means that they have more than enough votes to pass it without McCain or Obama having to cast a vote ...

5. a little K&R for an excellent point

I haven't seen more than two or three campaign ads since the primaries, so maybe there's already an ad like this out there, but if not... DAMN. Why not?

6. And time to eat cake. But the difference is that Katrina affected only POOR people.

The financial crisis threatens RICH people too, hence it is a real crisis.
