... he supports what Rep. Frank and other Democrats are doing. If Obama and McCain attend a White House summit, each will have to lay out detailed proposals for reform. Obama would have to lock himself in–and take criticism for his ties to Fannie and Freddie.

Country First? McCain Suspends Campaign to Deal With Economy
Stop The ACLU —
... policy debate? I know that McCain is suffering in the polls because his party is getting the blame for the economic crisis…wrongly. But will the media paint this as McCain chickening out, or a political stunt? I’m sure a little both. The debate is only 90 minutes. Why post-pone it? Can’t he do both? Its a strange move. Its a bold move. Was it the right move? It definitely shows leadership and sacrifice. Something Obama just proved lacking. Stacy McCain and Allah don’t understand it either.

In addition, McCain said that he wants to postpone the debate Friday night.
Later on Barack Obama called a news conference and claimed that he had called John McCain first and no, he didn’t want to put off the debate. (he’s been practicing for three days, it might upset his mojo)
I think John McCain got the cracker.
Sorry Obama.
Harry Reid: Most shameful fella
The Anchoress —
... to say this but what usually pops into my head is “the execrable Harry Reid.”
I know, I use that word too often. But in 2005 Harry Reid actually dared to tell America that an 8 year old boy had looked up to him and said he wanted to be just like him when he grew up. He has never been punished for that.
Now, of course, the execrable Harry Reid, Mr Help-Me- Obi-Wan-McCain Tell-Us-What-To-Do Now Stay Away Obi-Wan-we-don’t-need-you has sneakily done the dirtiest deed yet to the American public he ...
