McCain a gambling man? Let us count the ways he lost his most recent bet

John_mccainNewsweek's Richard Wolffe on Olbermann tonight talking about John McCain's hubris with regard to the bailout:

Here we have John McCain failing to live up to his own standards, his own measures. He said that he would suspend his campaign and get a deal he did neither. He said wouldn't debate until he got a deal there was no deal but he debated anyway. He said he wasn't going to phone it in—he was going to be fully involved—and he went to the phones. And, lastly his surrogates tried to claim credit for the deal but it ultimately fell apart. So by his own measure, McCain lost at least four different ways just in the last three or four days.
