KEY BLOCK----- has mccain voted against extending unenployment and insurance in other instances besides the katrina votes? Q9) On employment numbers, everything you talk about are long-range plans. Do you think there is short-term relief, like extension of unemployment benefits and insurance benefits? MCCAIN: *Yes I think we have to do all of those things*. Also, This brings me to the gas tax holiday. All I wanted to do was give Americans a little relief. Obama opposed that as a "gimmick." I've talked to a lot of Americans, especially older Americans, who wish they had this. I think it's out of touch with average Americans not to want this. We need to examine every option, short-term and long-term.
