John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.
The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.
“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen,” McCain said.

Just heard Carl report this too. McCain is challenging Obama to do the same thing. I wonder if he’ll bite?

"Saw it too, with a direct challenge to Obama to do same" Obama is practicing for the debates. Do I smell a debate cancellation or postponement in the works?

Now asking to delay the debate on Friday.
To: Qwackertoo
Not that McCain was doing all that well on the campaign trail. But he always seems to be one or two steps (days) behind what he should be doing.
This smacks of a desperation move at this late stage.
