McCain suspends campaign!
 

Interesting but risky move by presidential hopefule John McCain:

however if McCain doesn't achieve anything in real terms, then it may prove fruitless...:hmm:

Obama should do the same... But wait! He doesn't care so he won't! :nope:

-S

Yes of course McCain is 'afraid' of the debate.

In spite of the fact he has invited O to debate in open forums several times and denied.

Look its time to meet a deadline. You know get things done?

But the cry's will / Have come... Now is not the time to interject presidential politcs


WTF!

I call BS. The Senate can screw things up fine with two of their members out for the count - they do it with less than that all the time.

This is a political move.

The scary thing is that anyone could consider it anything but:roll: a political move.

McCain is an old fool and Palin is an ignorant freak. He's delaying because he has nothing.

Open your eyes.

O rly?

I'm no McCain fan, but I hope you remember those words in November.

McCain is dangerous, politically. He has an awful lot of Americanist crap to throw at Obama and Palin was a political masterstroke, whatever her abilities.

A masterstroke of BS which seems to be the path of this once great nation. Cicero once said that for a nation standing at the abyss of corruption it is too late.

Anyhow, change can be made with bullets.

Thinking that any either Obama or McCain is not a master of BS is evidence that we do indeed stand at that edge of that precipitous drop.

And yes change can be made with bullets. I hope we can fight on the same side should the day ever come. ;)

Precisely ^^^ , and nothing more.

This was a real silly move for McCain. The financial crisis is not happening all at once, it's been unfolding for over a year. The numbers he's worried about are poll numbers, and this move might give him the "above politics" shine that he so badly wants and so does not deserve.

anyway

Maybe, but at this point people may see it as a move of desperation. Folks in general don't seem to be to happy about bailing out Wall Street.

Well said. :yep:

Anyway I can't see any reason why McCain can't multi-task and do both. Both candidates have their own charter planes if they need to rush back to Washington.

Looks like one big stunt to me from McCain. Signs of a man in desperate trouble. Even the Palin buzz is starting to fade.

I'm with Steve, McCain is just trying to jump on the latest scare in the US media to score points with the punters. Clever move but transparent to all but the hickest hick. ;)
