I'm not sure his campaign knows what it is either. What they REALLY wanted was to go and veto, on the record, a bailout plan supported by Bush and the Democrats that was full of perceived wasteful giveaways. The final bill actually turned out not so bad, the McCain team had to do something so they lent the House GOP cover to create more chaos and pressure on the Dem leadership to align with Bush in a confrontation.
Dodd and Frank basically said "fuck you turds". In the end the whole thing is a wash and McCain basically fled Washington and now, IMO, has left the House GOP out to dry. They are going to get reamed by the media if the markets collapse tomorrow, and McCain still has enough wiggle room to get out of it somewhat.
