Not in the least. McCain nuked the bill because he thought it sucked. House Republicans didn't like the bill, and once they started hearing from the public how much they hated the bill, that was it. Time to nuke the bill and start over.
I want to see something passed, because I am very concerned about what will happen if Congress does nothing. I was on board for the Paulson bill with changes like oversight and market rates for buyouts, but from what Jim Jubak wrote, market rates for buyouts are a deal-breaker because of the accounting implications, so that plan wouldn't work even if passed. What we do now, I have no idea, but it is clear that the Paulson plan is dead because the public hated it.
