McCain to suspend campaigning, wants to delay debate due to financial crisis

[rgG]

I think when a politician decides to run for an office, other than the one they have, they should have to resign any current elected post. Just like a down payment on a house, they should have something at stake, too. What other job can you just leave as much as you want, so you can go interview and campaign for a better one? Then, if you lose, just show back up like you had been there all along.

This financial crisis is probably going to be the first major test of the next President. They had both better make sure that they have had a hand in crafting and approving the plan the congress must pass before leaving for recess. I would think that would required them both to at least make an appearance in Washington. Whether they debate this Friday or next Friday, who cares, as long as they debate before the election.

Congress excels at inaction, but this time they had better get off their collective a$$es and do their job. Every Congressman and Senator had better find a way to work together on getting a good bill passed and passed soon, before they leave for recess. It is their job and they should finally work a little.
