McCain suspends campaign temporarily and asks for postponement of debate

[exopolitician]

Wait...what?

Political  theatre at it's finest. I really hope people don't buy this bullsh*t.

there is no reason Obama and McCain can't suspend campaigning until this bill gets passed this weekend.  they can reschedule the debate to Tuesday.

I think whatever this is should have happened awhile ago instead of two days before the debate. I guess its a good idea but then again it just seems rather silly.

A suspension and a change of debate topic would be the best compromise.

How about change it from a foreign policy debate to a roundtable discussion on the economic discussions going on in Washington, and have them explain why they support or object to different parts of the bill?  That way it will be more informative than a debate, it will come across as non-partisan, and might actually be beneficial.

I like this better than suspending a campaign over all of this.

This is so confusing. Suspending a campaign isnt necessary....but the issue certainly needs to be addressed and put in the spotlight. I dont know what to think.

[exopolitician]

Just more proof how ridiculous this election has gotten.

Obama blinks:

Bush Invites Obama to DC to Work on Bailout Bill; Obama Accepts

Obama is capable of working this week, and showing up to Friday's debate.

Keep spinning.  The liberal netroots are going to go nuts when they see a picture of Barack Obama with President Bush.

See, but this is what needed to happened. Nobody needed to suspend a campaign over it though. Cut the drama and just get down to business. Geez.
