John McCain missed an opportunity to shut up:
John McCain ratcheted up his increasingly populist language today, using a campaign event in Iowa to say he would fire Christopher Cox, the former Republican congressman and Bush-appointed head of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At least make an effort to appear as something other than a know-nothing populist. One of those running at the top of the ticket is enough.

1. Stay at home – not vote for McCain [I would have voted but left the presidential line blank]
2. Post Saddleback debate – vote for McCain
3. Selection of Palin – donate $$ to McCain/Palin [I was prepared to send a check after my next payday]
4. McCain’s reaction to Wall St financial crisis, esp criticism of Cox and suggestion of bringing in Andrew Cuomo – see position number 1
[sigh]
