This smacks of a desperation move at this late stage.

Not only that, it's a very risky move. IMO the outcome of the Paulson plan has been decided. The questions and comments at the hearing today demonstrate that. McCain might arrive at the dance five minutes after it's over.

It’s also risky in the sense that this was to be the “Foreign Policy” debate, where McCain has a decided edge.

Okay, I'm glad there are a couple of people out there who, like me, think this is NOT a great idea.

Sorry folks, bad move, bad, bad move.

But you don't know that and neither does any other voter. McCain has already made the commitment to Country First as he has claimed all along he is strongly in favor of. By doing this he re enforces that commitment and by coming out with this and asking Obama to join him he shows LEADERSHIP. If he gets there tomorrow and by Friday there is an agreement nothing is lost. He has still proved to be a leader and Obama a follower if he joins McCain in Washington, and worse if he remains alone on the campaign trail.
