McCain suspends campaign!

[TarJak]

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!

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 a political move.

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.

Well said.

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.

Yes this Isn't that a characteristic of leadership, being able to multi-task.

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.

All moves are political ones.
That's democracy's big advantage and it's big failing.

Talking about motives other than votes is, at best, moot.

Open your eyes.

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

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.
