Good metaphor. Until recently I didn't know about McCain's attraction  
to throwing dice at the craps table. So much of what he has done  
throughout his life and very recently is understandable now.  
"Maverick" has often more accurately been gambler.

Btw, I think that Palin is "the last bullet" in his gun.

As for Fannie and Freddie, the government takeover will work and the  
republic will be saved.
