Methinks McCain is playing political games. I just read that McCain wants to suspend campaigning and postpone Friday's debate so he can focus on the current historic financial crisis. He's waiting on a response from the Obama camp as to whether they'll agree. McCain is trying to play the statesman now.
I don't think the debate should be postponed. Campaigning - yes, debate - no. The first debate on Friday, September 26 is covering the topics of foreign policy and national security - these are McCain's strongest areas - at least that's what he's been saying this election cycle - so, it's not like he has to cram for the questions.
We have just over one month until the election - I think we can all agree that this is one of the most important elections in our lifetime. Taking a few hours to debate some important issues isn't going to adversely affect the handling of the financial crisis.
Our country needs this debate, Mr. McCain.
If I was Obama, I would say yes to suspending the campaigning, but NO to postponing the debate.
