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.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good grief, you never stop.

Who cares about a joint statement? In other words, OBmama did not want to act alone.

Libs are all talk and no action.

McCain has big brass balls.

No doubt Rove advised this. The McCain momentum is slipping and this is a calculated “time out.”

That is no doubt, one of the most ludicrous statements I've seen on FR in a long time. In fact it would fit in quite well with the mentality of a Democratic Underground poster.

Are you sure you didn't take an internet wrong turn somewhere?

This is stupid. McCain just he admitted he can't do two things at once. Worse, he gives the opposition an opening to spread the meme that he's too old to juggle multiple simultaneous problems.

Fine. Let them anger 60,000,000 people over 55...

Disclaimer: That may not be an accurate figure, but I'm too lazy to look it up now...

Yes, that is being missed.

People have not grasped that we have a true crisis on our hands. This is not posturing, and this bailout bill is floundering. If someone has a better idea (than what Paulson proposes), they sure haven’t offered it.

Just because I think he was a couple days late in doing this? I guess not being in lock-step with everyone else on FR makes me to be an Obama supporter. Sheesh, ignore my posts if they bother you that much.

Personally, I don’t like the sound of it. The McCain campaign has mostly been doing well up ‘til now. This is going to come off as a political stunt. I sure hope I’m wrong.

ABC is reporting that Obama will NOT cancel the debate.

Looks like the candidate of “change” just can’t seem to put country over his own political future.
Way to go dumb@ss. You just helped make up the minds of the undecided voters who watched one man put his campaign on hold for the good of the country.

I am proud of John McCain today. His character and his heart is in the right place, fighting for the American people.

He was not my first choice for the nominee, but I’d sure as heck want him in my corner if I were in a tough spot!

Count on Dems saying he’s “unstable” and “impetuous.”

Crazy like a fox.

Just saw this on the ABC (All Barack Channel) news website:

The move by McCain puts Obama in a tough spot: If he insists on having Friday's debate, McCain and his allies could blame any hiccups in negotiations on Obama's desire to keep a political event on the schedule.

So far, it would appear the decision to temporarily suspend the campaign is playing well for McCain.

The only thing Obama reportedly said was “Let’s issue a joint statement”.

Who cares about a joint statement??

So?

Should all of our moves be done with an eye to some whacked-out statement from a biased press?

Dont demand boldness from a candidate and then piss and moan about what the press is going to say about it.

Do you just get the feeling that higher powers are at work here ?

How in the heck is McCain even in this race ? This is the most Democratic year since 1932 ?

Wow...
