The old book, "The Games People Play" was actually a decent assessment of such behavior. Two of the most frequently played are: "Now I've Got You, You SOB" and "Let's You and Him Fight." McCain plays both. He has been accused of being a hothead, so he desperately wants Obama to lose his cool. Hopefully, Obama will know he is being baited. According to Barney Frank, McCain's presence in their bailout meetings was very unhelpful. Now, the whole lot of them are fighting, with compromise becoming ever more distant. McCain can sit back and tsk, tsk about it all, and say they should have listened to him. Plus, with no bailout package by Friday, McCain can weasel out of the debate. The distraction is to his advantage. Palin will use the same excuse, if the turmoil continues. She would sell her soul to get out of debating Joe Biden. The woman doesnt make sense when she talks. Creating distractions is McCain's strong suite. He will do anything to avoid discussing the issues.
