I'm glad this news broke, because it kind of explains why McCain seemed so out of touch in his economic concerns.

Wasn't he just brought back into the fold yesterday?

It's hardly different than Obama.
Don't gloat, he'll probably have another next week himself.

Actually Obama generally seems to at least provide a half way plausible explanation for his changes. Some of them could be a bit more plausible or expressed a bit sooner though.

Hardly.

You know there are multiple elements that hardly could apply without it discounting the other elements, kev.

He hardly has a halfway plausible explanation?
He hardly could be more plausible?
He hardly could express his thinking on the subject sooner?

I would just like a week to go by without listening to the news and saying "what was that dumbass thinking".
I've gone from thinking either of them would be a step up to "here we go again".

Phil Gramm leaves John McCain's campaign

"It is clear to me that Democrats want to attack me rather than debate Senator McCain on important economic issues facing the country," Gramm said. "That kind of distraction hurts not only Senator McCain's ability to present concrete programs to deal with the country's problems, it hurts the country. To end this distraction and get on with the real debate, I hereby step down as co-chair of the McCain campaign and join the growing number of rank-and-file McCain supporters."

Personally, I'm surprised that humorless toad even got such a high-ranking position in the first place.

So will this affect the campaign at all, or is it just a minor bump in the road?

McCain chaired Phil Gramm's Presidential campaign in 1996. Quid pro quo.
