CNN) — John McCain faces the "crisis of his career," says former House Speak Newt Gingrich, who predicted the Republican nominee will lose the election unless he makes a public break from the economic bailout proposal.

"If Senator McCain is not prepared to separate himself from the Bush-Paulson economic program, he has no opportunity to win," Gingrich writes. "The country is deeply fed up with the Bush presidency and angry about the Paulson bailout. If McCain is confused or uncertain about how bad this economic performance is, he will never get the country to listen to him."

But it may be impossible for McCain to publicly break with the president on the plan. The GOP nominee suspended his campaign two weeks ago to ensure the economic bailout package was passed. When he cast his vote for the bill last week, McCain said it was "significantly improved" from its original version and now included "strengthened protections and oversight" for taxpayers. Though the legislation did contain billions in earmarks, something McCain said he opposed.

McCain campaign aides have since said they are aiming to turn the narrative on the campaign trail away from the country's financial woes and the unpopular economic bailout — a strategy Gingrich sharply opposes.

4. Wow, if he did that, he'd be the ultimate convictionless flippity-flopper windsock.

Could it be that Gingrich is taunting McLoser to do something stupid that finishes him off for good? Hmm....

9. I heard a good one yesterday.

" It's never a flip flop if you change to the right answer" <------ I caught that little diddy on the Limpball show. Some replacement for the day made that remark. I guess Rush was off popping pills, or chasing naked kids somewhere.

10. LOL! Yeah, that pretty much sums up their strategy: flip flops are

the crime of the century when Democrats do it, no matter what the circumstance--perfectly justified if GOPers do it for the "right reasons".

12. Yes true hypocrisy.

The twerp was saying it was fine for McCain too flip flop, as long as it for the "right reason".

Sometimes their intellectual gymnastics make my head hurt.

6. there is no way McCain can do that, that would be the same as him saying

"I was for it and then against and then for it and now against it". It would be sweet if he said that though, that would be some funny stuff.

13. "a public break from the economic bailout proposal"?

And how exactly would he do that? Suspend his campaign again, maybe? :sarcasm:
