In a shrewd move, Senator McCain has just proposed delaying Friday’s first presidential debate–in order to convene a meeting with Obama, President Bush and other decision-makers from both parties to sort out the financial mess.
It makes McCain look engaged in solving the number one issue on the minds of Americans, right now. It also presents a strategic problem for Obama....

In other news, Obama says the debate is still on.
Perhaps the McCain campaign could sent Sarah Palin as a proxy to debate manboy Obama. Let Sarah rip him a new one.
What’s up with the misleading title? Seems to me the title was McCain’s bet.

It’s a gutsy move and a gamble. I pray it pays off.
First Palin now this. McCain is showing his mettle as a great strategist!
To me this indicates McCain believes he is ahead and is OK with running out the clock.
Why not just suspend the elections until this is sorted out? When Paulson and Bernanke tell us it is safe to come out, we can get back to that silly partsian game of “Presidential Elections.”
It’s not like the newly elected President is going to get to do anything once all this power is handed to Paulson. Since the Secretary of the Treasury will be in charge for the next two years anyway - according to the Bush proposal - let’s just postpone them until 2010.
By then, McCain may be dead and we can just elect Palin.
McCain response to financial mess: “Non sibi, sed patriae”.
Obama response to financial mess: “Non patriae, sed sibi”.
I really don't think of this a political ploy.
It most certainly is an example of "Country First."
McCain is running scared, now pulling a political stunt. POTUS should be able to handle several tasks. This looks bad for the GOP.
McCain believes in "Duty First". His whole life tells us that.
As usual, Obama goes into the shadows. He's thinking like Shakespeare....something bad behind every door.
He's being over cautious now...waiting till someone else speaks...Hoping "his people" won't ask: "Are will still getting "stuff". He's PROMISED you nothing and that's exactly what you'll get.
People forget that Sen. McCain graduated from Annapolis and learned strategy and tactics from his Admiral father and Admiral grandfather. He also has some smart cookies running his campaign.
His latest tactical move to “suspend his campaign” to focus on “solving the economy” in the Senate has Obama on his heels. McCain can take the high road, while Obama searches for a way to exploit the situation.
DEBATE DEBAT....DEBATE ON THE ECONOMY!!!!!
WE MUST PUSH FOR A DEBATE ON THE ECONOMY
Very well said! This is Senator McCain once again putting Country First! Shame people don’t understand John McCain that when he says Country First he means those two words more then any politician I have seen in years.
The student has become the master. ;)
On a related note, did anyone see Bernanke’s testimony today? Did Bernanke really say something that could be construed as a warning about a run on the banks?
