John McCain, the guy who just last week insisted that the "fundamentals of our economy are strong," has asked Barack Obama to call off Friday's debate due to the ongoing financial crisis, and has officially suspended his campaign to return to Washington D.C. to belatedly take up work on the bailout bill.

This is a very strange move, given that Congress had already spent the past three days hammering out a deal with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Could it be that the real crisis is that McCain saw all of the recent polls showing him losing ground on the issue of the economy? Can we read this as anything but another cynical attempt to grab headlines?

He wouldn't have been able to head back to Washington to vote on the bailout without grandstanding? Congress has been meeting for the last three days on this matter. Why is he suddenly so attentive? Read McCain's statement here.

Hey, the economy ate his homework so he little johnny can't debate this week.

Well I was actually hoping they would all suspend their campaigns...permanently.  Then we could just go ahead with the election now.

Not to mention that he is not even on the banking committee.

Not to mention he is ill-prepared because he doesn't "like to do it that way" and is expecting a shellacking!!

"But, professor, I do have my paper ready, I just left it at home. Can I bring it in tomorrow, please?"
