McCain Phoned In Most Of His Bailout Input

McCain Phoned In Most Of His Bailout Input

John McCain celebrated his own role in the final federal government bailout package Monday on stage in front of several hundred Ohioans gathered for a campaign rally.

"I believe that inaction was not an option," the Republican presidential candidate said. "I put my campaign on hold for a couple of days last week." To applause, he continued: "I know that many of you have noticed it's not my style to simply phone it in."

That sentiment -- not "phoning it in" was the campaign line throughout the weekend. On Friday at the first presidential debate, close McCain confidante Sen. Lindsey Graham praised McCain's return to Washington. "This is one you just can't phone in," he said.
