McCain suspends Campaign

[dalakhani]

Another in a series of desperate moves.

Why is this NOT shocking?

[geeker2]

I think both sides now realize we are fucl<ed if things don't come together. I expect Obama will go along and do the same. In the big picture it makes sense.

The country needs both sides to cut out the cross-talk and do the right thing-find a solution!

The solution is to do nothing. These wall street guys have infiltrated the Fed and have already cashed in big time.
If they print these yahoos more $$ that's going to make yours worth even less.

Wow. What a cheap and pathetic move. It's clearly meant to shove Obama into a corner, so politically, it was a pretty brilliant move.

It's just posturing and I hope Obama doesn't bite, mostly because I'd just prefer to have a President capable of doing two things at once.

Someone should tell McCain that dealing with foreign policy and dealing with domestic policy is not an either/or, mutually exclusive, proposition once you're in the White House.

Sad and desparate. But then again, cheap, dishonest, and slimy moves like this have bred success for the last eight years, so why not stick with what works.

If it's not incredibly clear that, regardless of what you think of Obama, McCain has absolutely zero business running this country, add this notch and let me know when you finally figure it out.

pontificate

I think the plan would be to try and avoid the partisan talk that you just have uttered. Which I am sure makes you feel really powerful and strong - but in the big picture of trying to work out some solution does zero. Whether you like it or not the answer lies somewhere in between and not on the left or right fringes.

Eh, powerful and strong is probably somewhat of an overstatement, but if that's how it comes off, I'll take it graciously.

More importantly, if the GOP weren't notorious for disingenuous, stupid trickery, then this might hold some water. But given the McCain campaign's penchant for outright lying in the last three weeks, it's pretty tough to give him the benefit of the doubt that he really is doing this for the well-being of the economy, and not of his own campaign (you know, the one that's in shambles and getting thrashed according to....well, everyone) considering that it's a trick right out of the typical GOP campaign playbook.

Isn't this, in a way, the 3 AM phone call? Obama says he can answer the call and still make time for the debate. McCain is saying that is too much for him to handle.

Well, if you are honest..you will say both sides have engaged in less than truthful ads and trickery - but that's politics as my left wing friend GBBob taught me.

But what does that have to do with trying to find a solution to a problem that the Nation faces - that by all measures is the worst we have faced in decades.

But if Osama did it you would call it "the right thing to do."


No wonder things are so fucl<ed up...you people are so polarized it's not even funny.

[ateamstupid]

What a desperate wimp.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I get it. Trick question.

Because Obama has no need to pull a cheap, obvious, pathetic stunt like that to try to score points, he would never do it.

So your gotcha moment is rejected out of hand.

I'm sure I'll regret asking this, but why do YOU think this is desperate?

Do you really think either of them being there is going to make one iota of difference? This close to an election both will just go with the popular sentiment of their party.

You're kinda young to be so cynical

So you think they should've blown off the part of the job they get paid for...so they could talk smack on tv? Interesting
