I think it is a wise move that is being handled poorly. Had he done this as soon as the market sunk, and actually went to Washington right away it would be fine. Then resume for the debate. But waiting for a week going on Rachel Ray (was it this week) and then deciding there is a crisis two days before the debate is odd. The whole thing with Letterman and "rushing" to DC is classic.
Candidates suspend their campaign all the time, whether it be for 9/11 or a hurricane, but the manner this has been done is strange, especially with the debates.
I agree with this thinking.
If McCain had done this STRAIGHT away, and not waited for a more politically expedient moment to make this mercy-dash for Washington to save the economy... which given his "strength" on these matters is kind of funny.
