This committee's chairman was Richard Shelby (R. Alaska) and the ranking member was Paul Sarbanes (D. Maryland). At the time, the committee consisted of 11 Republicans and 9 Democrats. I think it's prudent campaign-wise of McCain to say he only introduced the bill and not mention anything else (Obama, Dems, etc.) in the same breath. Believe it or not, McCain does have some capable people left as his campaign advisors and hopefully their voices haven't been drowned out by the incompetent ones. McCain would be doing much better if he hadn't been so stubborn in letting the incompetents run his campaign all over the place and if he curbed his "gut instinct" a whole lot more.
