    McCain wants to delay the debate so he can "focus" on the economic crisis, but in all honesty, McCain can't do anything to fix the situation. We need our experts and professionals to figure out a plan, and we don't need McCain to be on the sidelines cheerleading. I trust that Bernanke and Paulson have a million times more knowledge than McCain, so in all seriousness, there is nothing McCain will think of that these two men and Congress will not think of.

    We SHOULD continue with the debates so that Americans can continue reforming the country after this crisis is over.... there are lots of changes that need to be made, and it is very obvious that we can't delay change anymore. http://feministreaction.blogspot.com/

    McCain has been part of the Republican "we don't need regulation" cheering section. He's trying to keep a low profile until this blows over.

    He's saying he's too important a Senator to be out campaigning and needs to be in Washington. That may be true and would explain his dropping personal appearances, but does not explain his dropping TV ads. Dropping the ads can also be explained as a way to save money without admitting that he's not meeting his fund raising goals.

    It is pretty obvious what the reason is. There is a genuine financial crisis going on and McCain is a Senator. What is hard to understand about that?

    If you're looking for a Boogie man, perhaps you should look toward the person who didn't suspend their campaign and was the second leading beneficiary of the root cause of this whole mess.

    From the seems of issues; the talks failed because the Democrats and Republicans see 2 distinct concepts. they are operating alongside with one yet another........The committee, Bush, and Republicans desire the taxpayers to pay; sounds like the Democrats desire those to blame to pay. Which might want to pay.. taxpayers or those that brought about this? it particularly is the catch 22 difficulty! lets see what takes position. in the experience that they don't come to a decision this, better banks will fail and united states will give way. The longer both events linger in this; the finished chance of give way. i for my area do not prefer to pay for those supposedly wise adult adult males and women persons failure. in spite of everything, they are those that brought about this difficulty over the perfect 12 years. Reform is important; yet, what style of reform will they convey in? it really is my question! i'm nevertheless helping McCain; yet, it really is a time he can instruct the persons of united states what he's talking about doing. The debates can pass again an afternoon. The Presidential debate can ensue on Monday, the others stay as scheduled. i do not want the conception of a one international forex in basic terms yet. Are you? If the authorities bails them out with our taxes; training received't were realized. in the experience that they make those adult adult males and women those who're in charge bail them out; the lesson should be realized ( i ought to wish). Obama on the different hand has an chance the following to reveal the persons what he will do as President. yet, he needs to really come at the same time as referred to as. properly, they referred to as him; he replaced into there; what did he lay out on the table to get to the bottom of this?

    It's a tactical political maneuver; plain and simple. "See, I care about America more than the election." The simple will buy into it; the astute will reject it.

    There is no reason, I mean NO reason why he can't fly back and forth between DC and the debate. None.
