"This seems to be a little too overly-dramatic on McCain’s part. Go back to Washington, fine...but no need to suspend the debate."

I agree, this moves looks totally desperate. Reminds me of Rudy in the aftermath of 911 wanting to postpone the handover to Bloomberg.

No, it looks like a move that will resonate, just like shortening the GOP convention due to the hurricane.

My first thought when I saw this a few minutes ago was that the Obamabots in the MSM will portray this as McCain trying to avoid a confrontation with The One...the moonbat blogs are already saying it. I dunno, I can't tell what McCain's strategy is here. It's hard for me to understand why he couldn't do both - go to DC, spend today and tomorrow working on the economy all the while looking and acting presidential, then hop on a plane Friday and spend a few hours debating Obama? Why the need to cancel the debate?
