Since McCain is running scared, have him get Cindy to write a check to Ole Miss to cover the expenses.

McCain acknowledged just yesterday that he had not even read the administration's three-page bailout proposal. McCain just doesn't like his polling numbers.The NO TALK EXPRESS needs to debate.

John McCain is dropping like a rock in the polls. This is an attempt to keep from hitting bottom and stopping his downward momentum. This is a transparent political maneuver to change the subject.

McCain, Trailing in Polls, Continues Campaign By "Suspending" It

John McCain, trailing by 9 points in national polls, has announced that he is "suspending" his campaign.

Having lost significant ground to Obama on the issue of the economy, and facing a potentially defining and withering debate on Friday where he would be confronted on his statements on the economy that have led to this sharp decline, McCain has attempted to change the rules of the game, to erase many past errors through a putatively "unpolitical" move--something we have seen before.

A simple question: Under the same economic conditions, if McCain had been leading, does anyone believe that McCain would have "suspended" his campaign?

This is the ultimate in cynicism--using the current conditions in order to attempt to blunt a sharp decline and try to control the media dialogue, through a political act designed to avoid a potential political debacle. He is continuing his campaign--which was leading to loss in all directions--by "suspending" it. It is an attempt to silence media criticism and questions--and to prevent a debate on these issues that for him is sharply unfavorable.

McCain is attempting to avoid the debate in the face of this decline, through the type of evasion and lack of press access and communication that has characterized his campaign.

He surely would like to put off the debate, and attempt to create more favorable conditions for it. Don't be cowed by false sanctimony.

like always, mccain does NOT think of the consequences before diving in, he did EXACTLY the same thing with his VP choice. ONLY thinking of himself. RECKLESS and UNPREPARED to lead the counrty.

I want to know if McShame will get back in time to give Bush a big ole hug after his speech tonight?

McCain is McScared. This procrastination has got to stop. They cannot hide from the world forever. It's time to get it on!

That's simply brilliant. What now John, what now?

A long-shot political stunt by John McCain. Let's see if it works, I doubt it.

ironic you take a dip in the polls

and now you want to help save america?

funny how 24hrs changes things.

Why not have Biden and Palin stand in for this one? I'm certain Palin is ready. Sure. After all, she's got to be ready to step into the big job at a moment's notice.

You people are idiots. Continue to choose Partisanship over Leadership and you'll reap what you sow.

The President needs to be able to multi-task, exactly what expert input does McCain believe he will be able to provide?

Sounds like his attitude about the surge where he did not look at the polls and now even Obama admits its working.

McCain can suspend his campaign so that he can focus and get clarity, but that has nothing to do with the scheduled debates. Just because he needs to push pause doesn't mean we do. The earth is still revolving...

Why is McCain just now SO interested in being available to address the economy? Because...He knows that he will need to answer some tough questions during the debate! This is McCain's "debate and switch" tactic. Pun intended. On with the debate!

Suspend Campaigns? And Senator Clinton campaigns for Senator Obama on Saturday...McCain wishes this would work. He doesn't realize that SOME people aren't as easily deceived as they were some odd 50 years ago when he first got into the game.

So Mccain needs a "time out?" The most absent member of Congress needs a time-out! Senator their were millions of people that were counting on you to vote for equal-pay for equal work; environmental policies; veterans bills and deal with the housing crisis, but you did not show up to vote! It's only when the MAIN STREET crisis hit WALL STREET did you bother to look up from one of your 7 homes or 13 cars to act like you cared.

they should have spent the 5.5 million helping those less fortunate in MS learn to read and write- that would be a good start- check education stats.

Debates can be rescheduled

Impending financial implosions cannot.
