I am sick and tired of folks handling McCain with kid gloves. I don't know if it's because he reminds them of their grandparents or fathers. Is it because he is a POW? I just heard Gloria Borger say Obama may join McCain to issue some joint statement? Now all of a sudden McCain wants to sing kumbaya with Obama?
McCain is trying to rush through legislation and postpone the debate for his own political survival. He is watching his poll numbers plummet into oblivion. When his campaign is ahead, he tries to tear Obama limb from limb along with his right wing radio hacks. I am not buying this. I hope to God Obama does not fall for this grand scheme. McCain has not been in the Senate since April 8.
Let's not forget that Sarah Palin is not speaking to the press. Now he wants to take time off. There is NO REASON why campaigns need to be suspended. He is trying to raise the stakes, folks. It's like a chess game. Once the Republicans get their 'bailout,' they will try to push the economic tsunami off the table and go back to pigs and lipstick. This is unprecedented. Obama needs to stand his ground. McCain chose to get into the race. He can't suspend his campaign at will. If he wants to get out, then get out. The race is on.
