McCain suspends campaign

John McCain yesterday decided to suspend his campaign to go back to Washington to participate in the bailout debate.  He's also asking for the first Presidential debate, on Friday, to be postponed until Congress passes something (Barr and McKinney have stepped up, willing to take McCain's place).  He even took his ads off of television.  I'm still trying to figure out whether McCain is genuine or whether this is just a campaign stunt, but either way it's going to backfire on him.  By the way, Obama has not only refused to postpone the debate, but he's still playing the class warfare card.

Even the New York Times' crossword puzzle is biased towards the Democrats.
