Duh, he fixed it. Didn't you see him swoop back into his campaign office and talk on the phone? My 10 year old nephew did the same thing Saturday. He was playing with his Nintendo while doing it too.

Is your nephew also close to Russia by chance? If so, he's a shoe in for the next VP!
This kind of crap is exactly why good people stay out of politics. McCain gets belittled for suspending his campaign. Then he gets belittled for not keeping it suspended. The political process is no longer a dialog on issues or solutions. It's been reduced to a stupid childish game of "gotcha" where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Then we all sit around and wonder why our political process has produced wave after wave of clueless poltroons as officeholders. Snarkiness is a lousy substitute for productive discourse.
Yet again I regret having waded into the P&OC forum hoping to find something substantive.

Hey, don't get mad...McCain's the one who originated the publicity stunt!

McCain may want to sign that kid up for Secretary of State!

I think you're missing the point of the thread. We are not complaining that McCain is not suspending his campaign now because many of us believe it was a silly idea and was just a publicity stunt (and we noted after he announced the suspension it took over 24 hours, after appearing on an interview, to "rush" down to DC). Rather, we are wondering why, if McCain and his supporters on this forum believed suspending the campaign last week was a good idea and was done because of McCain always putting "country first" (as they claim), and since the "crisis" has not yet been resolved and the economy is actually even worse off than it was last week when he announced he would suspend the campaign, why he wouldn't DOUBLY want to suspend his campaign this week.
Any explanations by McCain's supporters would be interesting.
McCain set the bar for himself. He promised a solution and did not deliver. Caused this massive 'scene' and produced nothing... The thing that really irks me about the ploy is how the belittled Obama for staying away. Not dragging the Presidential race into a delicate issue. He did do his business by phone...Something that the McCain campaign said McCain is now doing also. Neither of these men are on the committee that negotiates this bailout so what was the whole point of the suspended campaign? There wasn't one.
And the economy at this point is worse now then last week,,,so why is he not in Washington now hammering this thing out like he said he would?
