Using the 'suspending the campaign and returning to Washington' trope normally reserved for deaths of high government officials or movie melodrama, Sen. John McCain this afternoon announced he's, well, suspending his campaign and returning to Washington, to deal with the mammoth financial meltdown -- and perhaps boost his flagging electoral fortunes by locking himself and Barack Obama in a statesmanlike duet for a few days.

Here are the operative words:
“returning to Washington, to deal with the mammoth financial meltdown”
libtards do not comprehend reality very well.

Hussein probably doesn’t know where Washington is. He hasn’t been there in two years!

They're panicked... and it shows. Obambi is NO statesman and they know it!

“Trope” is the latest trope...

Must be a good move by McCain.

McCain’s smart - think about how much money he’s going to save per day of campaign suspension! Cool.

It's in 1 of the 57 states!
Obama should go back to Washington to increase the # of days he's been in the Senate!

Send Sarah Palin to the debate Friday night.
They want to say she's not prepared to step up to President should the need arise. I believe she would do just fine, especially in an open debate format.
Time for a 'Hail Mary' in this campaign, so let's watch as Sarah mops the floor with BHO!
Anyone in the McCain/Palin camp listening? :-)

boost his flagging electoral fortunes Who knew that being tied or slightly leading electorally in late September translated to "flagging"?? I'm so thankful for the free education given to me by our media elites. I'm always learnin'!!

karl Rove, Bill Salmon, Chales Krauthammer and just about all the folks on Fox sound like they are now rooting for Obama. Mind you Karl and Kraut have been saying very unhelpful things for some time.

Might have to take a look at the folks at Fox news as well.Seems many of my favs there, are trying to sink McCain.
