He's going to get clobbered in any discussion that wanders over to our
current economic crisis.

Maybe he just won't show Friday night (if Obama doesn't agree), and
perhaps Obama will debate an empty chair.




Nice spin, but far from accurate.

McCain, in a brilliant move, announced at 2:55pm that he was suspending
his campaign in order to return to Washington to participate in the
resolution of the current economic crisis. He has also requested Bush to
put together a bi-partisan leadership committee to further a solution.

The reason, according to Bush, is because the rest of Congress is
getting tangled footed and time is running out.

He said it was time to put partisan politics aside and asked Obama to
join him in Washington, including delaying Friday night's debate if the
problem was not resolved.

Please note: He specifically said, "Delay Friday night's debate, if
necessary. Not cancel.

Clearly coldcocked Obama who started claiming it was all his idea, at
first, then seemed to change his mind as he spoke, claiming he still
wants to debate.


Reality Check: Obama called McCain this am and asked if McCain would
issue a joint release on the economic crisis.

McCain is tanking in the polls at the moment, possibly because he is
adrift is a sea of **** because of his idiotic statements about the economy.

McCain hasn't been around for a Senate vote since early Spring. What
input is he going to give to those trying to resolve the problems? He
doesn't know anything about economics.

Nice try.
