McCain Talks Economy With Hillary Posted: 1 month ago by ImNotBlue

The GOP nominee had already chatted with Bill Clinton about the mortgage crisis and wanted to pick the senator’s brain about her new proposal to have the federal government buy up bad mortgages and renegotiate terms more favorable to homeowners on verge of default.

McCain vs McCain - His Schizophrenic Foreign Policy Posted: 7 months ago by 2manyusernames
With all the attention on the dueling democrats, the media is ignoring John McCain. Few are paying attention to what he is saying, or subjecting it to any serious scrutiny.
He recently called to expel Russia from the G8. He suggested expanding it to include Brazil & India, but not China.
Insulting Russia & China may not be the smartest political move.
