McCain Gets Desperate

Sen. John McCain's decision to suspend his campaign and call to postpone Friday's night debate with Barack Obama to participate in the bail-out negotiations in Washington strikes me as little more than acts of a candidate desperately trying to redirect the discussion. And Obama is correct in calling for the debate to proceed as scheduled; after all, the whole idea supposedly behind the debates is to provide a forum for the candidates to articulate their positions on the issues, which includes the current financial crisis.
