"In an unexpected announcement on Wednesday, John McCain announced that he will temporarily suspend his campaign for president to fly to Washington and work with Congressional leaders and the Bush Administration to hammer out the financial bailout legislation. He has urged Barack Obama to do the same."

Er cynically = cynical.
Anytime my friend
He should not miss the debate - period. He has a jet airplane. He should use it. This just looks like he is more interested in putting his name on the legislation than winning the presidential campaign.
Exactly. Fly to Washington, get briefed, do what he needs to do, fly to the debate on Friday. Don't cancel the debate. The presidential race is just as important as his meetings in the Senate.
In reality, both Obama and McCain should have resigned the Senate in August to run for the Presidency. I realize that Senators don't do this anymore, as it is more important to hold on to their existing power and not put their necks out.
No guts, no glory.
Fortunately, the way you’re viewing it is very much in the minority.
Outlawing all of them retrospectively would let the crooks who wrote them off the hook. I would suggest that any CDS transactions which are not related to an ownership interest in the counterparty should be void; otherwise, CDS payouts need to be limited to CDSs whose existence and trigger status are made public, and should be limited in speed, based upon the underlying asset base, so as to ensure that when a CDS collapses the people to whom it owes money share in the proceeds, instead of having the people whose CDSs triggered first get all the money while other buyers get nothing.
Alternatively, have expedited bankruptcy proceedings to unwind the assets.
He should suggest that if Obama insists on a debate, he can debate Sarah Palin on Friday and schedule a make-up town-hall session some other time. Since the Democrats and LSM have insisted that Sarah Palin is grossly underqualified, Obama should have no trouble cleaning her clock, right? (nb: I suspect a lot of Democrats would tune in to see that).
He's a U.S. Senator, the ranking minority member on the Senate COMMERCE COMMITTEE and he's being paid to do his job...so I suppose, in your opinion, that's "not presidential"?
.l.and of the 300 million, you have just demonstrated that you're among the top when it comes to real "clowning". A leading member of the SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE, paid to his job as a Senator, miss formation of the legislation vital to the economic health of this nation...that's your recommendation? BTW click here even BO is feeling the heat.
Excuse me? Go screw yourself.
Actually it’s not, I’m being much fairer than most because of how much I want him to pull this thing out and win. I was the first person in my office to read about this when I mentioned it there was stunned silence. Get real. This isn’t McCain’s wheelhouse at all and he’s going to be shut out by Democratic leadership anyway. Dumb move.
Sure are a lot of children on here. Next time you stick your tongue out go choke on it. Read the article. Who read it to you, slowly?
That would be great. That would be how he turns it around again. Sure you don’t want to switch jobs with Rick Davis? haha.
I would rather offer tough questions and be labeled a troll than be a mindless mutton like you.
Oh that hurt so badly troll.
Time will tell.
Hey since you’ve got a room temperature IQ I’m just going to switch you off like the thermostat, okay? Have fun talking to like-minded individuals, like cats and dogs.
Ha, ha, ha, ha .....
