  There's no doubt that the McCain stunt was more damaging because it was more visible. In addition to the things you mentioned, but also his putting on hold the debate (where we can actually hear the candidates position on this crisis) to fly to DC, where he barely said a word during the meeting. "Not good" is putting it lightly.

  Fly back to DC for what! Neither of them have been involved in any of the intense negotiation meetings that have been taking place or the writing of the bill that is what has to take place before it can go to a vote. Believe me, I'm not at all happy about any of this but don't come riding in like the Lone Ranger to save the day when your involvement is only going to muck up the works. I do agree that McCain's stunt was far more transparent for exactly what it was!

  You know, to be honest, I was trying to be "balanced" in my coverage, and I really did think the Obama stunt was lame. But I agree that McCain's was far worse.
