A federal homeowner bailout isn’t as much of a slam-dunk with voters as congressional Democrats hope it will be, writes Pejman Yousefzadeh. Though a recent poll shows that most voters support government intervention for those who can’t pay their mortgages, many Americans are hesitant to help those who bought homes above their means, he writes. Looking at the presidential race, Moe Lane writes that John McCain should try to get more Barack Obama advisers fired, just as he indirectly did by pointing out a Hamas official had supported Obama. That eventually led Obama to fire one of his Middle East advisers, Robert Malley, for having regularly met with Hamas while in the private sector. By pressing Obama, McCain makes it harder for the Democrat to either hide his positions or keep his advisers, Lane writes.
