McCain to House GOP: "We need a deal"
September 26, 2008 11:09 AM

ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: John McCain made an urgent appeal to House Republicans at their 9:30 leadership meeting Friday morning.

A senior House GOP leadership aide involved in the negotiations described McCain's message this way, "We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal."

Friday's debate is clearly a factor in the urgency of McCain's appeal: "As long as we have the broad framework of a deal he can go to the debate and claim he did his job."

After the meeting, Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., and House Republican Whip Roy Blunt were dispatched to resume negotiations with House Democrats.

House Republicans seem poised to cave on this (says one House Republican, "We don't want to be seen as obstructionists"), although they have been assured that some of their ideas can be incorporated into the final deal.

Specifically, House GOP leaders want the bill to include federal mortgage insurance as an alternative to the wholesale buying of mortgage securities.

A key factor for the House Republicans is the price tag of the bailout. "The $700 billion number has got to come down."

3. Thought he didn't WANT a deal--thought that's why he interrupted the ACTUAL deal

yesterday with his photo-op--to avoid having to debate. NOW he's desperate for a deal? Jesus God, please do not let this idiot anywhere near the White House. He's dumber than Chimpy.

4. This is good.

The Republicans are now desperate for a deal to save McCain's sorry ass.

Our leaders in Congress now have an opportunity to demand some major concessions.

5. Will someone wheel this mumbling idiot out of the room please.

He's become like a sad stroke victim now. Makes incoherent sounds like people are taking him seriously, the whole time food falls out of his mouth, and he makes dinner unpleasant for everyone else in the room.

Sorry, I'm a sick and evil man...

10. The House GOP is not McLame's immediate problem. The Senate GOP will be the problem.

And ironically, the "leader" of the Senate Republican revolt is Dick Shelby, a former Democrat who switched parties after Get-rich's "revolution" in 1994!

11. is "federal mortgage insurance" the same as "credit default swap"???????
