Defeat Of Bailout Bill Hurts McCain

“The defeat reflects poorly on Sen. John McCain — who made a dramatic return to Washington last week in the hopes of salvaging a deal that ultimately collapsed — as well as the Democratic-controlled Congress, which looks powerless in the face of crisis. ‘It’s ugly,’ said Whit Ayres, a Republican political consultant. ‘It makes the Congress look pretty irresponsible.
