"Don't Worry, Be Happy." The Donna Brazile theme song. So both nominees can just passively sit back and not worry because "progress" on the bailout bill is supposedly being made.

Is there anyone that really cares what this woman says?

It is not up to you, Donna...President Bush and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson personally requested that McCain come to Washington to assist. Now, be a dear and go take your meds, sit down, STFU and let the sane people handle this.

"Donna Brazile: No Need for Nominees to Show Leadership on Bailout Bill"

yes exactly we need no leadership, just a telepromter and words like "hope" and "change".

As in I "hope" we have alittle bit of "change" left after Congress buggers all us taxpayers for 700 billion.

This issue is huge. McCain sees that and is being an adult. He participates and if elected will all ways be responsible for the out come. Obama is trying (childishly) to triangulate. He, once again, positions himself without any responsibility. If it works he can take credit even though he did nothing except stay out of the way. If it fails he can point fingers and blame and say “I told you so” even when he did not. Think Obama himself on the war or Bill Clinton on welfare reform or balancing the budget. Obama is just playing the “Slick” card!

Exactly how does a fat, racist female version of Al Sharpton become “...a political contributor??” If she wasn’t a politically correct skin color she’d be taking out the trash at McDonalds!

[Carley]

Well at least she didn’t say that Jesus wouldn’t have gone to D.C.

An expected response from the party that played a large part in this mess and which has no answers for how to fix the mess.

McCain did the right thing but the question is will he use this to slam BO? He needs to have immediate commercials that make the case that senator McCain is temporarily setting aside his political ambitions to do the job he was elected to do. Senator Obama on the other hand refuses to set aside his personal political ambitions to fulfill his elected duties in addressing this problem that could have dire effects on our economy. If BO tries to hold the debate with out him McCain should jet in at the last minute and make a big scene about how BO has neglected his senatorial duties to hold this “all about me” debate.

Some of the conservative talking heads are blasting McCain for setting aside the debate because the debates are what the public wants. That’s crap. Covering and commenting on the debates is the talking heads bread and butter. The debates are contrived and usually biased toward the left and delaying them will do nothing of harm except to the face time of the talking heads. The real question again is will McCain play the deck full of cards he now holds to his advantage?
