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

There are certain times when you need to be "in the office" and not just phone it in. This is one of those times. What difference does it make who suggested that they go to Washington? I don't care. I think this is important enough that they should both be there. If they can still do the debate on Friday, fine, if not then reschedule. This piece of legislation can't wait, the debate can.

This could help either candidate, if he is seen to be taking the lead and getting something done to solve this mess. I can tell you, seeing one of them get something done by motivating the Congress to action, would do a lot more to sway my vote than all the debate rhetoric. Their actions will speak louder that their words, in this case.

I somehow think that no matter which one had suggested they go to Washington, the other side would have disagreed. That is just the way this campaign is going.
